I move amendment No. 32:

In page 32, between lines 15 and 16, to insert the following:

“Amendment of section 151 of Children Act 2001 54. Section 151 of the Children Act 2001 is amended by the substitution of the following subsection for subsection (3):

"(3) Subject to subsection (4), the Court shall specify, in its absolute discretion, which portion of a period for which a detention and supervision order is in force shall be spent by the child in detention in a children detention school and which portion under supervision in the community.".".
