C.
1. The Outlaws were angry with the grown ups because the Beveridege Report was going to make their lives so much easier but the children still had to deal with school, difficult subjects and punishments and other things that made their life difficult. The Outlaws were going to come up with their own report that had demands for children
2 The Outlaws' demands would make the lives of children much more relaxed and fun. They would get a lot of free time if they got as many holidays as school working days. The increased pocket money would allow them to buy as many sweets and toys as they liked. Even school would become easier without Latin, French and Arithmetic. Having no punishments would mean that they can do anything they like. These demands are fun, but they are not sensible. Firstly, no one would actually give them the things they asked for. Secondly, they would hardly learn anything if they get so many extra holidays and so many subjects are removed. No punishments would aslo mean no discipline. The demands, though they are fun, would ultimately not be good for them.
3. The thieves had stolen the briefcase to get their hands on Major Hamilton's documents but they would not find it. They would only find the Outlaws' Report. The Outlaws had decided to place their reports in Major Hamilton's briefcase so that it would go to government in London and become an Act of Parliament. William had taken the Major's papers out of briefcase to put the Outlaws' Report in. But he had forgotten to put them back in.
4. The pantomime was more important to the Outlaws. The Outlaws were disappointed when they realized that their Report would not be made into Act of Parliament. But when they heard that Major Hamilton had promised to take them to a pantomime as reward, they cheered up immediately and forgot all about the Report.
