§ Dr. OwenI have been asked to reply.
Reconviction rates for approved schools during the last three years for which figures are available were as follows:
These figures relate to reconvictions during three years following release. Comparable information is not, therefore, available about those who left community homes with education on the premises in 1974–75. I am investigating the technical problems involved and will write to my hon. Friend.
