Is the hon. Lady aware that many magistrates, myself included, when they sit in juvenile courts are informed by the clerk of the court before even the case starts that there are no vacancies in remand homes? Is she aware that the magistrates are left in the position, when there is no place of security, despite the fact that they do not want children to be sent to prison, of having to send them there in many cases in order to avoid difficulties and to save the time of the police in looking for boys who do not come to court when they have been allowed to go home? This is a difficult matter which ought not to be allowed to continue any longer.
