Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.

Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

The point we are trying to make is that a large amount of this treatment goes on voluntarily. The vast majority will continue to be voluntary on the basis that young people are picked up before they have committed the type of offence which requires a youth rehabilitation order and so will be dealt with voluntarily. When this provision becomes part of the Act in due course, there will be cases when it is appropriate that a youth rehabilitation order should have such a direction in it, but our belief is that that will not arise very often.
