Serious Crime Bill [HL] — Report (2nd Day) (28 Oct 2014)

Baroness Howe of Idlicote: My Lords, I rise briefly to speak in support of Amendment 47 of the noble Lord, Lord Harris.

Baroness Hamwee: My Lords, I hate to disappoint the noble Lord, Lord Harris, but I fear that I am going to, as I simply have a question for him.

The noble Lord talked about the responsible, innovative and...

Young people have told ChildLine that they are...
