§ 25. Mr. M. Lindsayasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in what circumstances Clifford Andrew was appointed to the staff of Norton Training School, Kineton, when, within the knowledge of his Department, he had previously been dismissed from a similar appointment at another approved school; and why the headmaster of Norton Training School was not informed of this fact.
§ Mr. EdeI would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for St. Albans (Mr. Dumpleton) on 20th January last. I would point out that Andrew was appointed to Norton on 11th January, 247W 1945, and was not given notice at Chute Forest until 26th January. The reasons for which it was proposed to give this notice were mentioned to the headmaster of Norton by the headmaster of Chute Forest before 11th January.
