§ 312 Schedule 3, page 87, line 35, leave out sub-paragraphs (4) and (5).
§ The Lord ChancellorMy Lords, the sub-paragraphs removed by this amendment refer to schemes of intermediate treatment to be prepared under Section 19 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1969. The requirement for such schemes to be prepared was introduced by Section 21 of the Criminal Justice Act 1982. In practice, because of the passage of time since the 1982 Act was implemented, every local authority has already prepared a scheme of intermediate treatment. The provisions in sub-paragraph (4) are therefore redundant. Sub-paragraph (5) is removed because the provisions would have required specified activities to be restricted to those provided under the scheme, which the Government now believe would have been unduly restrictive. I beg to move.
§ Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in the said amendments. —(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
