§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Attorney-General what has been the outcome of discussions with the Magistrates Association, the Justices Clerks Society and others on less formal arrangements for juvenile court proceedings, referred to in the Government's reply to the second report of the Social Services Committee, Session 1983–84, Cmnd. 9298.
§ Mr. MellorI have been asked to reply.
These discussions have not yet taken place, and may be affected by the consideration which the review of child care law is giving to the style of care proceedings. But the Department will be in touch with the bodies concerned in due course.
