HC Deb 17 June 1996 vol 279 c331W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Attorney-General how many children below the age of 10 years were prosecuted in the last year for which figures are available; which were the main offences; and if he will make a statement. [32059]

The Attorney-General

None. There is an irrebuttable common law presumption that children under 10 years are incapable of criminal responsibility.
