§ Mr. DevlinTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if she will make it her policy to extend the provisions of the Shops Act 1950 to cover betting shops, before 1 March.
§ Mr. Peter LloydNo, we have no plans to extend the provisions of the Shops Act 1950 to cover licensed betting offices.
§ Mr. DevlinTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has for tackling juvenile crime in Cleveland.
§ Mr. JackThe Government have already introduced a wide range of measures which aim to prevent young people from committing crime. In Cleveland, safer cities projects in Hartlepool and Middlesbrough provide grants for a number of local initiatives aimed at tackling juvenile crime. These link, in turn, with the work being undertaken at local level by the police, probation, local authority education and social services, which is co-ordinated through an inter-agency strategy group.
In the Criminal Justice Act 1991, implemented on 1 October 1992, Parliament strengthened the powers of the court in relation to defendants under the age of 18. The Government are presently considering additional measures to help the courts to deal more effectively with the small number of juveniles who persistently re-offend and for whom existing measures appear not to be working.
§ Mr. Mike O'BrienTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to give local authorities the power forcefully to detain juveniles remanded or serving a sentence in their care.
§ Mr. YeoI have been asked to reply.
Following consultation, we are considering what further guidance may need to be given about the control and restraint of young people in residential care.
