HC Deb 17 March 1913 vol 50 cc702-3
59. Mr. DOUGLAS HALL

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is in a position to state when the Committee on Reformatory and Industrial Schools will make its Report?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. McKenna)

I understand that the Committee are now considering their Report, and hope to present it in a month or two.

61. Major HOPE

asked the Home Secretary if he is aware of the general desire amongst officers of certified reformatories and industrial schools that a complete scheme for superannuation allowances should be provided; and if he will consider the advisability of introducing legislation for them on similar lines to that of the Asylum Officers Superannuation Act, 1909?

Mr. McKENNA

This is one of the questions which were referred to the Departmental Committee on Reformatory and Industrial Schools; and I hope to receive their Report before long.
