HC Deb 07 March 1927 vol 203 cc851-2
101. Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

asked the Home Secretary whether he has under consideration the question of the schools supported wholly or partly by voluntary contributions which are not at present subject, to registration or inspection; and whether he contemplates taking any action in the matter?

Captain HACKING

The hon. Member is no doubt aware that this matter was dealt with in the final Report of the Committee on Child Adoption, which was published last July. Their recommendations involve legislation. My right hon. Friend proposes to consider the question of amending the Children Act in this and other directions when he has received the Report of the Committee on the Treatment of Young Offenders.
