That this House welcomes the new national helpline for the families of victims of murder and manslaughter; notes that families will be referred to this helpline via Victim Support or family liaison officers; further notes that families of victims of corporate manslaughter do not have access to either Victim Support or family liaison officers; expresses its concern that such families may therefore experience difficulties in accessing this helpline; and calls on the Government to look at ways to ensure that such families have access to this service.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
