HC Deb 16 February 1956 vol 548 c283W
63. Mr. MacColl

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will ensure that the terms of reference of the proposed committee to inquire into the working of the Children and Young Persons Act, 1933, will permit an examination of the age of criminal responsibility and of ways of treating delinquent children, which would avoid appearance in court, or lead to their appearing as in need of care or protection.

Mr. Deedes

Yes.
