Essex Probation and After-Care Service

HC Deb 29 July 1976 vol 916 cc342-3W

Mr. Moonman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he will be in a position to give a fuller statement on the treatment in care of certain children, about which he wrote to the hon. Member for Basildon on 29th June and 13th May.

Mr. John

We have no reason to make any fuller statement about the supervision of this case by the Essex Probation and After-Care Service. I understand that the judge has communicated with my right hon. and learned Friend the Attorney-General over certain aspects of it and also that there is an appeal pending.
