§ MR. WEDGWOOD (Newcastle-under-Lyme)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he can say how many girls in the non-inspected rescue homes have been sent there with the approval of the justices; and whether he will direct that in future a justice of the peace shall not assent to any girl being sent to any such home.
§ *MR. GLADSTONEAs regards the i first point I am afraid that I have no in-I formation, and as regards the second point I have no jurisdiction to interfere.
§ MR. WEDGWOODWho would have jurisdiction?
§ *MR. GLADSTONEI cannot say.
§ MR. T. L. CORBETT (Down, N.)Will the right hon. Gentleman obtain that information?
§ *MR. GLADSTONEI have no power in the matter.
