HC Deb 03 March 1932 vol 262 c1284W
Major MILLS

asked the Home Secretary whether it is intended that any extra expense which may fall upon the local police authority owing to any need to provide new buildings or rooms, by building, hire, or purchase, for use as juvenile courts under the provisions of Clause 1 (4) of the Children and Young Persons Bill, 1932, will rank for a grant from the Treasury; and, if so, of what percentage?

Sir H. SAMUEL

Expenditure for such purposes does not at present rank for Treasury grant, and as I do not anticipate that any substantial increases of expenditure will be involved by the proposals of the Bill, it is not intended to make any alteration in the existing practice.
