Kevin Hollinrake MP will continue to press the Government to introduce legislation in the form of a new guardianship law designed to assist the families of missing persons.
There has been some disappointment that the legislation known as Claudia’s law was not mentioned in the recent Queen’s Speech. However the MP for Thirsk and Malton says he will be meeting ministers to push for this Bill to be brought forward.
“This law would mean so much to so many people who have been through such difficult times. We need to support the families of missing people and help them as much as we can. I understand the importance and the significance this law would mean, for instance for parents like Peter and Joan Lawrence whose daughter, Claudia, went missing in 2009. I appreciate that some may be disheartened by the speed with which this issue is progressing but I will be meeting with ministers and colleagues in Westminster in the hope that a solution can be achieved as soon as possible.
