HC Deb 12 July 1990 vol 176 c320W
30. Mr. Gill

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what initiatives he is considering to encourage parents to develop a knowledge of the law in their children.

Mr. John Patten

The proposals in the White Paper "Crime, Justice and Protecting the Public" for involving parents when their children offend will promote a better understanding of the effect of the criminal law and the criminal justice process and make parents aware of their responsibilities.
