Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (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, too, support these amendments as strongly as I can. I do so for one reason. I believe that if we can have in this Bill something incorporating the content and purpose of the group, it will have the effect of reducing suicides in custody. Children and young people will be assured that they are not on their own and that someone who cares for them will come in.
