I propose to take Questions Nos. 26, 29 and 84 together.
The Steering Committee submitted their report on the effectiveness of the Pilot Family Mediation Service to me on 28 September 1989. I am at present examining the report in the overall context of the future of the service. Until such time as I have completed my examination I will not be in a position to comment on the future of the service. In the ordinary way it would not be my intention to publish such a report.
