Will the Leader ask the Minister for Justice and Equality to give us a date for publishing the consultation document?

On 24 May, we raised the Government's arm's length policy on our cultural institutions which are being eroded. I am a keen family historian and on 1 June a notice appeared on the National Archives' website stating that its genealogy service has been temporarily suspended and that it is hoped to reinstate the service as soon as possible. When we are promoting a year of Gathering next year, is it greatly remiss of the authorities to suspend such a service.
