Domestic violence and trust Bills

Summary

Ray Butler asks about Bills consolidating domestic-violence and trust law; the domestic-violence Bill’s heads are advanced, while no publication date exists for the trust Bill.

When is publication expected of the domestic violence Bill that will bring about a consolidated version of the Domestic Violence Act 1996, including additional provisions to protect victims of domestic violence? When is publication expected of the trust Bill, which will reform and consolidate the law relating to trustees so as to deal better with and protect trust assets?

There is no date for the publication of the trust Bill. I can confirm that the heads of the domestic violence Bill are at an advanced stage in the Department of Justice and Equality. I will advise Deputy Butler of the progress being made there.
