Policing and Crime Bill

Exactly. What the noble Lord, Lord Skelmersdale, is saying seems to me a sensible, grown-up way of approaching this: take the child back home and give it to its parents. That would be much better than letting it get into the criminal system. We must do everything that we can to keep children out of the criminal system and to look after them. Of course, what the noble Lord says about cadet groups is very important, but the solution proposed by my noble friend Lord Skelmersdale seems to me eminently sensible and therefore should be on the face of the Bill.
