HC Deb 17 February 1955 vol 537 cc554-5
43. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department his present plans for improving the law and practice relating to juvenile delinquents.

Major Lloyd-George

I understand that the hon. and learned Member is particularly interested in vocational training in approved schools, and I am sending him a Home Office Report containing information about the subject.

Mr. Hector Hughes

Will the right hon. and gallant Gentleman say what steps he is taking to diagnose the aptitudes of juvenile delinquents and to teach them appropriate, constructive trades and make good citizens of them?

Major Lloyd-George

The Report deals with that matter. If the hon. and learned Gentleman will look at the Report he will see what is there stated.
