Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 May 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Family Policy.


Family Policy

A lot of things are being done. I am not saying that things are not being done; they are. I suggest that there are some things we can do but have not been. There is an indication that, with the removal of legal aid, people contemplating divorce or separation might decide to do a quickie and get it over. That means that they would not go through the process. As the hon. Lady has said, children who are clearly part of the relationship are pushed aside and forgotten. Will the Minister indicate where mediation should be in the process?
