Written Question
Attorney General: Families
Wednesday 10th June 2015

Asked by: David Burrowes (Conservative - Enfield, Southgate)

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, with reference to the press release released by the Prime Minister on 18 August 2014, what steps he is taking to assess the impact of the Law Officers' Departments' policies on the family.

Answered by Robert Buckland

The Family Test was announced by the Prime Minister in August 2014 and introduced in October 2014 through the publication of guidance for officials -Family Test Guidance

The objective of the Test is to introduce a family perspective to the policy making process, specifically to make the potential impacts on family functioning and relationships explicit.

The Law Officers’ Departments have not applied the Test to date, however where applicable they would work with the DWP to embed the Test in policymaking processes.
