CHILDREN AND YOUNG PERSONS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1968 - SECT 92

1918 c.57 (8 & 9 Geo.5)

92.(1) The ... [Ministry of Home Affairs] shall, for the purposes of the
provisions of this Act relating to the making of orders committing a child or
young person to the care of a fit person, be deemed to be a fit person willing
to undertake the care of him, and accordingly orders may be made committing
children and young persons to their care, and they shall undertake the care of
children and young persons so committed; but where a probation order or
supervision order is in force as respects a child or young person, or the
court proposes to make such an order at the same time as an order for
committal to the care of [the Ministry], the last-mentioned order shall not be
made unless [the Ministry] consent to the making thereof.

(2) Before making an order under subsection (1) in any case where the consent
of [the Ministry of Home Affairs] is not required, the court shall, unless to
do so would in the opinion of the court cause undue delay, permit [the
Ministry] to make representations to the court as to the making of the order
and shall, before making the order, consider any representations so made.

Subs.(3)(4) rep. by 1972 NI 14 art.109(3) sch.18

(5) The reference in section 9(4) of the
War Pensions (Administrative Provisions) Act 1918 to an order made under
section 21 or section 58(7) of the Children Act 1908 shall be construed as
including a reference to an order made under the Act of 1950 or this Act.
