§ MR. LEIGHTON (Shropshire, Oswestry)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in the charge sheets in criminal cases, the degree of the prisoner's education is now notified; and whether, in view of the prevalence of juvenile crime, and the importance of obtaining more accurate information on the subject, he will cause inquiry to be made as to whether the prisoner has been to any elementary school, and, if so, as to the particular school in which he has been trained, and cause such information to be notified on the charge sheet?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir M. WHITE RIDLEY,): Lancashire, BlackpoolIt must be very unusual, I should think, for the police to notify in the charge sheet the degree of education of an accused person; and it seems to me there would be great difficulties in the way of obtaining accurate information on the points suggested by my honourable Friend. I should be glad, however, to consider any proposal on the subject which he may choose to submit to me.
