§ 8. Mr. Dayasked the Minister of Labour the number of boys and girls who have been transferred to employment other than seasonal work under the Juvenile Transference Scheme for the 12 months ended the last convenient date; and how many of these were returned home during that period on the ground that they were unsuitable for that vacancy?
§ Mr. E. BrownDuring the 12 months ended 25th March, 1939, 3,941 boys and 4,536 girls were transferred through the Juvenile Transference Scheme to employment of a non-seasonal nature. Information as to the number of these juveniles who returned home for reasons of unsuitability is not available.
§ Mr. DayHave any hostels been erected for juveniles who cannot find lodgings where they have been transferred?
§ Mr. BrownIt would take a long time to explain the position, but the whole scheme is set out in the recent report of the Ministry of Labour.
§ Mr. DayAre travelling warrants given to juveniles to enable them to return home when they become unemployed?
§ Mr. T. WilliamsWhat are the aftercare societies doing to assist boys and girls who have to return?
§ Mr. BrownThe question relates to transference. I have a number of statistics but I must answer the question on the Order Paper.
