85. Mr. Holmes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether a report from the committee inquiring into juvenile drunkenness and delinquency may be expected prior to the Parliamentary summer Recess.

86. Mr. Simmons

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he had yet received the report on the increase in youthful delinquency and drunkenness which he asked the Social Survey Division of the Central Office of Information to produce; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I understand that the report of the Social Survey Division of the Central Office of Information on its investigation into offences of drunkenness among all age groups may be expected towards the end of the year. There is no official committee inquiring into juvenile drunkenness and delinquency.
