HC Deb 09 March 1937 vol 321 cc948-9
21 and 22. Mr. Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) whether he has received any report of the investigation promised into the question of juvenile crime in Glasgow;

(2) whether he has made any inquiry into the high rate of convictions and fines in the Maryhill Juvenile Court; and, if so, whether he has anything to report?

Mr. Elliot

The general question of juvenile delinquency in Glasgow was, as I have already informed the hon. Member, taken up with the Corporation some time ago. I am sending him a copy of a letter indicating the steps which they are taking to deal with it. As regards the position in Maryhill, I have communicated with the Corporation, who have remitted the matter to a sub-committee for consideration.
