answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2014 answer text <p>In line with the terms of the protocol we have with the Law Commission, I submitted my preliminary views on the recommendations in the report to the Law Commissioner in March. In September 2014 the Government proposed to the Law Commission that a final response should be given in the next Parliament. This will allow the next Government to give the proposals full consideration without the current pressures on Parliamentary time. The Family Justice Council is also carrying out further work to clarify the meaning of ‘financial need’ in divorce cases. This will include the Council producing guidance for separating couples to help them understand the likely outcomes of their case. We expect this to be completed by the end of the year</p> answering member constituency Bermondsey and Old Southwark answering member printed Simon Hughes question first answered 20/10/2014 09:34:00 answering member 194 label Biography information for Simon Hughes
