Proceeding contribution from Lord Ramsbotham (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Children and Young Persons Bill [HL].


Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

I support the amendment. For the past eight years, I have been trying to do something about speech, language and communication support for young people in custody. I merely mention the fact that John Bercow is currently leading a review of this. I hope that this group of people will be added to the list of those whose arrangements he is looking at, because it seems to me that this is a priceless opportunity that must not be missed.
