question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government how many Attorney General’s Office policies have been assessed against the Family Test; and whether they will publish any such assessments.
tabling member printed	Baroness Eaton
uin	HL9944
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2018 answer text <p>The government is committed to supporting families. To achieve this, in 2014 we introduced the Family Test, which aims to ensure that impacts on family relationships and functioning are recognised early on during the process of policy development and help inform the policy decisions made by Minsters. There is no requirement for departments to publish the results of assessments made under the Family Test.</p><p>The Attorney General’s Office does not develop its own policy nor has responsibility for any Government policies. As such the department has not had to consider the guidance but would do so if appropriate.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 13/09/2018 11:14:22 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
