As hon. Members know, the Government support the Bill. We believe that it will simplify and streamline the procedures that people encounter when dealing with the property and affairs of a loved one who has disappeared and is thought to be dead. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Salisbury (John Glen) on his success in piloting the Bill through the House to its Third Reading. I hope that the House will join me in supporting the Bill’s Third Reading and wishing it a speedy and successful passage through the other place.

Question put and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed.
