HC Deb 07 November 1916 vol 87 cc95-6W
Sir JAMES YOXALL

asked the Home Secretary whether representation has been made to him with respect to the increase in children's delinquency; whether representations have been made to him with respect to the advantage of securing the presence of teachers as magistrates in children's Courts; and whether any steps have been taken in the matter?

Mr. SAMUEL

I have received some representations, and will bear them in mind; but the appointment of teachers as Justices is a question for the Lord Chancellor and not for me.
