HC Deb 18 July 1991 vol 195 c544

POWERS OF INSPECTORS

Amendment proposed: No. 28, in page 10, line 3, leave out from 'question' to end of line 5 and insert 'any person aged 18 or over whom he finds on the premises.'. —[Mr. Jack.]

Mr. Allen

The amendment removes the phrase about inspectors interviewing people in the presence of someone else. Why?

Mr. Jack

It is merely to protect the interests of the child by restricting an inspector in the interviewing or questioning of a child.

Amendment agreed to.
