HC Deb 08 June 1904 vol 135 c1067
MR. GALLOWAY

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what number of boys there are in reformatory schools in England and Wales; and whether he has any Reports showing what proportion of them benefit by their treatment; and, if so, whether he will lay these Reports upon the Table.

*MR. AKERS-DOUGLAS

Full information on both the points raised by my hon. friend is contained in the Annual Reports of the Inspector of Reformatory and Industrial Schools which are laid before Parliament. I may refer him, for instance, to pages 16 to 19 of the Report for 1902 published last year.

MR. GALLOWAY

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Report for 1903 has not yet been presented? When will it be?

*MR. AKERS - DOUGLAS

I cannot say.
