HC Deb 28 June 1979 vol 969 c269W
17. Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he intends to introduce proposals to amend the Children and Young Persons Act 1969.

Mr. Brittan

The Government are considering the best way of amending the Children and Young Persons Act 1969, in order to strengthen the powers of the courts, but it is too early to say how and when this will be done.
