An addendum correcting numbering errors identified in the Family Returns Consultation, as launched on 5 March 2026, was sent to stakeholders on 14 March. These minor corrections do not affect the substance of the proposals.

To allow proper consideration of the updated information, the consultation period has been extended by one week and will now end on 4 June 2026.

Since 5 March, officials have continued to engage with stakeholders to support informed responses.
