Will not the right hon. Gentleman seriously consider whether we have not failed to adjust ourselves to the social phenomenon that a large section of the youth have expanded spending power without expanding power of life? May I ask two things? First, whether he considers that there is not an alternative method of correction for young offenders than fines, imprisonments, detentions, which often increase their anti-social attitude? Secondly, would it not be desirable for us to show that we are with the younger generation by a dynamic pattern of public provision of recreation, competitive games and encouragement to join national and international spheres of social service?
