Question to the Ministry of Justice:

What steps he is taking to consider the views of the public before proposing changes to divorce laws.

Hostility and conflict between parents leave their mark on children and damage their life chances.

That is why we intend to remove the need for blame when people divorce. A YouGov poll published the same day as our response to the consultation indicated 73% support for doing so.

We held a full public consultation last year to test our detailed proposals. We have reflected on the experience and insight that people brought from all perspectives.
