30. Mr. DAVIDSONasked the Secretary of State for Scotland the total amount of money received by fines inflicted in each of the juvenile courts in the various divisions of Glasgow for 1935?
§ Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLEAs the answer involves a table of figures, I propose, with the hon. Member's permission, to circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
Mr. DAVIDSONIs the Department or the right hon. Gentleman himself making any investigations into the unrest caused by big fines inflicted upon children in Glasgow for perfectly trivial offences?
§ Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLEI suggest that that is a separate question. If the hon. Member will read the Table which I am sending him, he will be able to gauge the extent of the matter.
Mr. DAVIDSONI raised this question before, and the right hon. Gentleman made several replies indicating that some inquiry would be made, and I am asking if that has been done?
§ Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLEThat is a separate question, and I suggest that the hon. Gentleman should first read the Table.
