§ Mr. Howeasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) why he prevents removal from the jurisdiction 87W of a child in respect of whom a custody order has been made in a different manner, according to the nature of the court by which the order was made; and what steps he proposes to take to ensure that his power to prevent removal of a child in such circumstances should be the same in all cases as it is in cases where the custody order was made by the High Court of Justice;
(2) by what authority, to what extent and in what class of case he is prepared to take action to prevent removal from the jurisdiction of a child the custody of which is in dispute between its parents or the custody of which has been granted to one of its parents by order of the High Court of Justice, a County Court and a Court of Summary Jurisdiction.
§ Miss BaconImmigration officers give such assistance as is in their power if there is good reason to believe that an attempt is to be made to remove from the jurisdiction without the leave of the court an infant who is a ward of court, or subject to a requirement included in an order for custody or care or control that he may not be taken out of the jurisdiction, or the subject of an injunction restraining anyone from so removing him. So far as I am aware, a court of summary jurisdiction has, unlike the High Court or a county court, no power to support a custody order in any one of these ways.
