§ Mrs. Knightasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to re-invest juvenile courts with those powers removed from them by the Children and Young Persons Act, 1969.
§ Mr. CarlisleNo. But my right hon. Friend has already announced his intention to defer, until it can be seen what alternative facilities are available, the implementation of those provisions of the Act which would remove from juvenile courts the power to make detention centre and attendance centre orders and to commit to the Crown Court with a view to borstal training.
