David Gauke, the former justice secretary, who introduced the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Bill, today tweeted: ‘Disappointed that the suspension of parliament means that the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Bill has been dropped. Divorce reform is long overdue and the bill had overwhelming support amongst the public and in Parliament. I hope Parliament can return to this asap.’
