HC Deb 04 May 1978 vol 949 c217W
13. Mr. Temple-Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has had concerning the age of criminal responsibility.

Mr. John

There has been no substantial volume of representations since the age of criminal responsibility was raised in 1963 from eight years to 10 years. Certain hon. Members have made representations. Some have suggested lowering the age and some raising the age.
