§ 9. Mr. KELLYasked the Minister of Labour what replies have been received by his Department to C.E. Circular No. 2, The Redistribution of Juvenile Labour; what steps, if any, are being taken to transfer juveniles from one part of the country to another; and who will be responsible for the supervision of these juveniles in the district where they have been transferred for employment?
§ Mr. BETTERTONOne or two more replies have been received within the last few weeks to C.E. Circular No. 2, but generally on the first two parts of the hon. Member's question, I have nothing to add to the replies given to his questions on the same subject on the 21st and 26th March. When juveniles are moved to vacancies away from home, the parents' or guardians' consent to the arrangements as regards conditions of employment, lodging accommodation, etc., is first obtained and the Juvenile Advisory Committees, with the help of other voluntary bodies, exercise special supervision in these cases.
§ Mr. KELLYIn view of the great interest in this question as affecting young people, will the House be given an opportunity of seeing these reports, or, at any rate, be given some idea of what the reports contain?
§ Mr. BETTERTONI will consider that point with my right hon. Friend when he returns, and when we have got the complete list.
