Proceeding contribution from Alun Michael (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Bodies Bill [Lords] (Programme) (No. 2).

Public Bodies Bill [Lords] (Programme) (No. 2)

Will the Minister acknowledge that there is real concern about the abolition of the Youth Justice Board, which we discussed earlier this evening in a time-limited debate? The concern is that by being taken inside the Ministry of Justice, it will lose the independence and spark that has led to its supporting youth offending teams in cutting youth reoffending. Will he undertake to keep an eye on that and, if it turns out that a system within the Ministry of Justice does not deliver as the YJB has, to look again at the arrangements?
