§ 66. Major Sir HERBERT CAYZERasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he proposes 1914 to introduce legislation to give effect to the recommendations of the departmental committee of inquiry into offences against young persons, appointed by his predecessor on 28th July, 1924, including such recommendations as necessitate amendments to the Criminal Law Amendment Acts?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Short)The recommendations will be borne in mind when time can be found for the Children Bill, but my right hon. Friend cannot promise to propose that effect sholl be given to them. Some of them would require separate legislation which is out of the question at the present time.
§ 68. Sir H. CAYZERasked the Home Secretary whether it is his intention to introduce a Bill to amend the Children Acts; and, if so, whether he can give an approximate date?
§ Mr. SHORTI can only refer the hon. Member to the reply given by the Prime Minister to a question by the hon. Member for the Sutton Division of Plymouth. (Viscountess Astor) on the 11th June last.
