Ministry of Justice written question – answered at on 27 July 2016.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will review the Family Procedure Rules 2010 to ensure that those rules do not restrict the ability of hon. Members to represent their constituents; and if she will make a statement.
The Family Procedure Rule Committee makes rules to ensure that the family justice system is accessible, fair and efficient. It has fully considered the issue of disclosure of court documents to persons who are not a party to the proceedings. The Rules and supporting Practice Directions on disclosure provide balance between transparency and preserving the confidentiality of those families involved. Hon Members could refer concerns to the Family Procedure Rule Committee for consideration.
