- Hansard - - - Excerpts

The Ministry of Justice is today publishing the response to the consultation paper Guardianship (Missing Persons) Act 2017: Implementing the Act. The response collates views from a variety of key stakeholders on the Department’s proposals for bringing the Act into force. The response will be available on www.gov.uk.

I have placed a copy of the response in the Libraries of both Houses.

It remains the Government’s intention to bring the Act into force in July 2019.
