§ LORD NORTONMy Lords, I beg to ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Bill relating to Reformatory and Industrial Schools is to be re-introduced early this Session and in this House?
LORD MONKSWELLMy Lords, I should be glad to add a few words upon 410 the question put by Lord Norton. In connection with one of the largest Industrial Schools in the country I have made it my business to ascertain the views of those concerned in the management of these schools. I find there is no dissentient voice among them, but on the contrary a general concourse of approval with regard to what has been proposed by Her Majesty's Government. They consider that the measure is not only necesary but urgent.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Viscount Cross)I beg to answer both questions in the affirmative.
