HC Deb 30 January 1945 vol 407 cc1305-6W
Mr. Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the fact that no Report of the Prison Commissioners has been issued since that for the year 1938, issued in private and State schools, respectively; how many from each of the two sources were awarded scholarships; and what were their places in the entrance examinations.

Mr. Alexander

The figures in respect of the entries for September, 1944, and January, 1945, are as follows:

1939, he will issue a summary Report for the subsequent period, pending the resumption of the customary annual Reports.

Mr. H. Morrison

As I have indicated in replies to previous Questions, I am anxious that a Report on the lines of the annual Reports which have been suspended since 1939, should be published as soon as is practicable, but I regret that I am unable to say at present when that is likely to be.
