Summary Jurisdiction (Children and Young Persons) Rules

HC Deb 14 July 1960 vol 626 cc1593-4

37. Mr. A. Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will so amend Rule 11 of the Summary Jurisdiction (Children and Young Persons) Rules, 1933, as to ensure that all reports by probation officers relating to children or young persons appearing before juvenile courts are given on oath, and are made available in all circumstances, not only to the child or young person concerned and his parent or guardian, but also to any other person or persons who may be implicated in the report.

Mr. Vosper

My right hon. Friend would prefer to await the report of the Ingleby Committee.
