March 2023 | Government’s Formal Response to the JCHR Inquiry Report

Almost 6 months overdue, the government has published its official response to the JCHR.

The Government agrees with the Committee that the treatment of women and their children in adoption practices during this period was wrong and should not have happened. Whilst we do not think it is appropriate for a formal Government apology to be given, since the state did not actively support these practices, we do wish to say we are sorry on behalf of society to all those affected.
