HC Deb 01 February 1937 vol 319 c1284
42. Mr. Lovat-Fraser

asked the Home Secretary why his office has ceased to issue reports of the children's branch?

Mr. Lloyd

There are a number of reasons—in particular the additional labour involved in the preparation and bringing into force of the Children and Young Persons Act, 1933—which have prevented the issue of a report in recent years. My right hon. Friend is fully aware of the value of these reports, and a further report will be issued as soon as circumstances permit.

Mr. Rhys Davies

What does the Under-Secretary mean by "as soon as circumstances permit"?
