Recent appearances

• Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Juveniles) (Amendment) Order 2018 - Motion to Regret 16 Oct 2018

  I am grateful to the noble Baroness on that point. Is she saying that the officers concerned get special training in that respect to deal with young people in this situation?

• Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Juveniles) (Amendment) Order 2018 - Motion to Regret 16 Oct 2018

  On the previous point made by the Minister about there being no pressure put on a young person to act as a CHIS, is it possible, when a young person has come to the attention of the authorities—or may have committed a crime—that it would be suggested to the child that matters would not be proceeded with if they were to act as a CHIS instead?

• Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Juveniles) (Amendment) Order 2018 - Motion to Regret 16 Oct 2018

  I am just trying to understand the situation. It would be nice to hear from the noble Baroness at some point—maybe she can write to us. It should obviously always come to the attention of the authorities through various means, such as intelligence. However the authorities come to it, what are the circumstances such young people would find themselves in with the authorities?
