Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Prior of Brampton on 10 October 2016 (HL2093), whether the Law Commission completed its review of Deprivation of Liberty safeguards by the end of 2016; and if so, when they expect to respond to that review.

The Department now expects the Commission to publish its findings and recommendations by March 2017, following which the Government will set out its response.
