Mr. Graham Whiteasked the Home Secretary on how many occasions each of the voluntary homes referred to in Section 94 of the Children and Young Persons Act, 1933, have been inspected in the last five years?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonIt has not been the practice to undertake a systematic inspection of all voluntary homes within the section referred to, but inspections are made in all cases where there is reason to think it desirable. It has been ascertained on inquiry that out of some 800 voluntary homes liable to inspection, 300 have been inspected since the 1st January, 1937; 72 have been visited twice and 56 on three or more occasions.
