HC Deb 19 November 1936 vol 317 c1896
26. Sir WILLIAM JENKINS

asked the Minister of Labour what steps he has taken to provide meals and other necessities of life to the boys and girls attending the juvenile instruction centres in Glamorgan?

Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEAD

Under the existing law the education authorities have no power to provide meals or clothing to juveniles attending junior instruction centres, but I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which my right hon. Friend gave on 12th November to the hon. Member for Aberdare (Mr. G. Hall), of which I am sending him a copy. Arrangements are in force whereby milk can be provided free as medical treatment in appropriate cases.
