HC Deb 05 June 1928 vol 218 cc18-9
49. Mr. KELLY

asked the Minister of Labour whether any proposals have been received by his Department for the transfer of juveniles from one district to another; and, if so, will he name the districts concerned, with the conditions set down for the welfare of these boys and girls?

Mr. PENNY

I have been asked to reply. There are no such proposals apart from the notification of specific vacancies. These notifications come, in small numbers at a time, from various parts of the country and are dealt with in the ordinary course of Exchange business and with the usual arrangements for supervision by the Juvenile Advisory Committees.

Mr. KELLY

Will the hon. Gentleman ask the Department whether they will name the districts from which these requests have come, in view of the fact that the Department have issued a circular asking for provision for the welfare of these juveniles?

Mr. PENNY

I would suggest that the hon. Member should put down a further question.
