§ Sandra GidleyTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs what assessment he has made of the impact of sexual dysfunction on marital breakdown; and if he will make a statement. [123434]
§ Mr. LeslieInformation is not collected centrally about the impact of sexual dysfunction on marital breakdown.
Relate, a major provider of relationship support services, provides psychosexual therapy to approximately 900 clients per week in England and Wales.
Feedback from clients of the British Association of Sexual and Relationship Therapy (BASRT) suggests that those who petition for divorce rarely wish to have this aspect of the breakdown made public. Thus, little authoritative information is available from any source.
