Mr. WILSONasked the Home Secretary whether he can state the weekly cost per head for food in remand homes, approved schools, Borstal institutions, prisons, and convict prisons for each of the last three years?
§ Sir J. SIMONOwing to the varied arrangements which are made for the provision of remand homes and their intermittent use, no information as to weekly cost per head for food in such places is available. The figures for the other establishments mentioned for the years 1933 to 1935 were approximately as follows, viz.:—Senior and Intermediate Schools, 6s.; Junior Schools, 5s. 6d.; Local Prisons, 2s. 8d.; Convict Prisons, 3s. 7d.; Borstal Institutions, 3s. 11d.
