Schedule 1 - Modification of sections 12 to 15 for Northern Ireland
Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Bill [Lords]
3:15 pm

Lady Lady Hermon (North Down, UUP)
I am sorry to interrupt the Minister in full flow. I am pleased that the provisions will be extended to Northern Ireland. He said that these defendants are vulnerable. I could not agree with him more. Perhaps I am wrong, but am I right in thinking that the provisions do not apply to youth courts? We are discussing vulnerable young people, but the provisions apply only to people over 18.
