Abstract
First paragraph: The introduction of Age of Criminal Responsibility (Scotland) Bill is a welcome and long overdue step that will bring Scots law closer to realising the goal of ensuring that children’s rights are respected fully in Scotland. The following responses to questions (bold, italicised, in blue) asked by the Equalities and Human Rights Committee of the Scottish Parliament are designed to assist in that process.
