HC Deb 19 July 1976 vol 915 c396W
Mr. Scott-Hopkins

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science in view of the tragedy at a youth centre in Glossop on 4th July, if he will review the minimum age limit which county youth services apply for children to attend adventure centres with a view to raising it to 13 years.

Mr. Gerry Fowler

No. It seems unlikely that the age of the children was a relevant factor. It would not be proper for me to comment further as the causes of the tragedy are still under investigation.
