§ 32. Mr. LOVAT-FRASERasked the Home Secretary how many boys are allotted on the average to each housemaster in the Borstal institutions?
§ Mr. SHORTThe normal allotment should be not more than 75 but, owing to the increasing numbers of committals to Borstal institutions, it has been necessary, pending the provision of additional accommodation which is now in hand, to exceed this and the present average allotment is about 87 inmates per housemaster. Each house-master has an assistant house-master.
