The Family Test was not designed to be a ‘tick-box’ exercise, and as such there is no requirement for departments to publish the results of assessments made under the Family Test.</p> answering member constituency Wycombe answering member printed Mr Steve Baker question first answered 08/01/2018 12:44:11 answering member 4064 label Biography information for Mr Steve Baker
