Mrs. Curtis-Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department on how many occasions a Merseyside police officer has taken a child home after 9 pm from a designated area since the inception of this power. [165921]

Merseyside police tell me that they have taken home eight unsupervised children in three specific areas since these powers came into force.
