§ 69. Dame Irene Wardasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when it is proposed to legislate in order to prevent children whose future is the subject of magisterial decision being taken abroad before an appeal can be lodged and other matters relating to court procedure connected with the custody of children.
§ Mr. Carlisle: The courts already have power to grant a stay of execution pending an appeal. My right hon. Friend sees no need for legislation on the point.
