§ 26. Mr. Doddsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why machinery in the metal work centre of the approved school for boys, the Royal Philanthropic Society's School, Redhill, is not equipped with guards similar to those provided in factories; why a first-aid cabinet is not prominently displayed; and what provision is made for the ready availability of a person proficient in first-aid.
§ The Joint Under-Seeretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Dennis Vosper)Some obsolete machines, from which the guards had been removed, were kept until recently in the maintenance shop; they were not used for training boys, and have now been disposed of. In the maintenance, electrical and woodwork shops, housed in the same building, there are three first-aid cabinets. The school has arrangements under which three doctors are on call, there is a school surgery and hospital with two resident nurses, and several members of staff have had first-aid training.
§ Mr. DoddsIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that I am well satisfied that the Question has had a very good effect?
