§ Lords Amendment: In page 14, line 33, leave out Clause 20.
§ Mr. RentonI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
I should point out that this Amendment goes with the Amendment to page 17, line 40, at the end to insert the new Clause "A.".
§ Miss Alice Bacon (Leeds, South-East)I should like to thank the hon. and learned Gentleman for acceding to our request on Report and including remand 852 homes and attendance centres in the annual statistical report which is to be given. I am glad that there is to be a follow-up to indicate how effective the attendance centres are, in that we shall have a report showing how many children going through attendance centres get into trouble afterwards.
It will be a great improvement to get these reports because, particularly in relation to attendance centres, we shall see if we can get good results from treating children while they live at home. That, of course, would be much preferable to putting children away in approved schools or in borstal institutions.
§ Mr. RentonI am much obliged to the hon. Lady.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to.
