Govt says 15 year olds not mature enough to decide to have sex but 10 year olds mature enough to know seriousness of action could be crime

Hansard - 2nd Reading of Lord Dholakia's bill on Age of Criminal Responsibility. Encouraging. @SadiqKhan http://t.co/dHsAz6frZC

[NAYJ @TheNAYJ]

@CrimeLineLaw Dholakia's Bill may fail but case for raising MACR unanswerable. Evidence? See 'Criminalising Children' http://t.co/y4wFZdjK77

[NAYJ @TheNAYJ]

@CrimeLineLaw: "chance of this passing into law is Nil. http://t.co/6ktwymoDl9" But may start ball rolling. Gov must now justify MACR of 10.

[Chris Peace @cpeace313]

Why does this govt want to stop charities both campaigning and bringing/intervening in judicial review? http://t.co/bxiCSNsDAu

[NAYJ @TheNAYJ]

See our response to gov't proposals on Judicial Review. Bad news for vulnerable children & those working with them. http://t.co/y4wFZdjK77

[NAYJ @TheNAYJ]

Tweet 3/2. (Sorry, outsourced stats). If you agree that the criminal courts are no place for 10 year-olds, join us! http://t.co/oPg0Qz9BAi

[NAYJ @TheNAYJ]

Tweet 2/2. Government will, of course, oppose attempt to raise MACR - even though, at 10, it is 2 years lower than UN-set minimum. Barbaric.

[NAYJ @TheNAYJ]

Tweet 1 /2: Age of Criminal Responsibility. Lord Dholakia's private members bill has its 2nd reading in House of Lords this Friday.
