§ 82. Mr. Hastingsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many juvenile delinquents detained in 215W remand homes were found on examination to be mentally deficient during the last year of which a record is available; and what was the average time before a place could be found for them.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerNo orders were made by the Secretary of State in 1956 under Section 9 of the Mental Deficiency Act, 1913, in respect of juveniles detained in remand homes. The remand home statistics are not kept in a form which would enable me to give particulars of cases dealt with by the courts under Section 8 of the Act.
