I am not proposing to set up a committee of inquiry on this subject, but I undertook, during Committee stage of the Criminal Justice Bill, to amend the Bill so as to take power to undertake research into the causes of delinquency and the treatment of offenders, and to make grants to approved bodies or persons engaged in such research. Amendments were made accordingly during Report stage and have been embodied in the Bill.
