§ 69. Mr. ATHERLEY-JONESasked the Home Secretary what is the cause of the delay in submitting the Report of the Departmental Committee on Reformatories; and at what date the reception of evidence was completed?
§ Mr. McKENNAI understand no evidence has been taken since July last, but since that date further inquiries have been made by the Committee by means of circulars and visits to schools. The Committee now hope to have their Report ready in a few weeks.
§ Sir W. BYLESCan the right hon. Gentleman state whether there will be any opportunity for the discussion of the question of reformatories and cognate questions?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe hon. Member knows that that matter is not in my hands.
