That is why we have worked together with the Home Office, the National Police Chiefs’ Council, the Victims’ Commissioner’s office and the charity Murdered Abroad to publish a clear, accessible guide, which will help families to deal with the specific challenges that can be faced when trying to navigate these processes and improve awareness of the support available to them at such a difficult time. This approach provides a greater degree of flexibility to review and update the guidance quickly, avoiding the need for amending primary legislation. I had a very useful meeting the other day with the noble Baroness, Lady Brinton, the noble Lord, Lord Russell, and the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, who had to leave before we got to this topic. We have sent copies of the code and I am pleased to hear that the noble Baroness, Lady Brinton, has found it broadly helpful, but we are here to listen and help to improve it if we can.
