Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether he plans to adopt the policies in the Cutting Youth Crime, Saving Young Lives white paper.

The new Government is committed to the goals and direction set out in the Youth Justice White Paper in May and is making progress on delivering the significant programme of reforms. As this work progresses, we will continue to develop and refine our approach in line with wider Government priorities – in particular, building on work already underway, we are developing plans to strengthen the role of strategic authorities in youth justice, in line with the Rewiring the State Cabinet statement. We will set out further detail in due course.
