answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2016 answer text <p>Stephen Shaw carried out a comprehensive consultation in preparing his report of his review of the welfare of vulnerable people in immigration detention and the adults at risk policy, which will come into force on 12 September 2016, forms part of the Government’s response to Mr Shaw’s review. The Government has seen no reason to duplicate this in developing the adults at risk policy. However, when the draft policy was published on 26 May 2016, the Government wrote to a wide range of relevant non-governmental organisations and offered them the opportunity to discuss it. Subsequently Home Office officials held meetings with a number of interested organisations, and received written representations, and the views of these organisations have been taken into account as the policy has been developed further.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 12/09/2016 16:14:11 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
