Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (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

Would my hon. Friend agree that delays, which bear on child detention, are part of a process that feeds on itself? The more delays there are, the more people have shoddy legal advisers who tell them, basically, to play for time. If at some point we could bear down on the delays, it would save us money in the medium term.
