HC Deb 30 January 1997 vol 289 cc313-4W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has to publish a Green Paper on the youth justice system; and if he will make a statement. [13199]

Mr. Maclean

The ministerial group on juveniles has been considering what more can be done to identify children at risk of offending and to address the problems which put them at risk. The Government intend to publish a Green Paper shortly, setting out a strategy for early intervention with children and young people at risk of offending.
