Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 June 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Alternatives to Child Detention.


Alternatives to Child Detention

There is another issue, which I raised in my speech. Why do people have to wait so long for their cases to be dealt with? Does my hon. Friend agree that dealing with cases in a more timely fashion and clearing the Home Office backlog would help to make the system more humane? She is absolutely right about the detention of children, but the reason why we have so many cases is that they are not being dealt with quickly enough.
