§ 47. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the three nautical approved schools which have boats for training juvenile delinquents, indicating the number and nature of the practical difficulties which confront their management and the success of the methods adopted to overcome those difficulties.
§ Miss BaconOnly about half of the boys in the nautical schools receive instruction in seamanship, but they all get other forms of training. Short sea cruises can be undertaken by small parties, but longer cruises by large parties would not be practicable without detracting from other aspects of approved school training.
