§ 27. Mr. LONGBOTTOMasked the Home Secretary if he has any information that the recommendation of his Department, contained in Papers 448 and 261/25, dated 30th September, 1927, requesting justices of the peace sitting in juvenile courts to seek the assistance of officers of local education authorities when juvenile offenders are dealt with is being generally adopted; and, if not, will he agree to reissue the recommendation?
§ Mr. CLYNESI have no information later than 1925 when all juvenile courts were asked for information on this and other matters. It was evident that at that time many of the juvenile courts were not seeking as much assistance as they should from the education authorities, but I hope the position has improved. I will bear in mind my hon. Friend's suggestion when an opportunity offers.
