HC Deb 14 May 1970 vol 801 c310W
39. Dr. Gray

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, following the implementation of the Children and Young Persons Act, the criminal records of children under 14 years of age have been destroyed, both centrally and locally.

Mr. Elystan Morgan:

Section 4 of the Children and Young Persons Act, 1969 is not yet in force; but when it is, it need not lead to existing criminal records being destroyed.
