Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Home Secretary for what reason John Rowlands, recently convicted of murder at the Hampsire Assizes, was originally committed to an approved school and why, subsequently, he was sent to Borstal?
§ Sir S. HoareIn June, 1931, this youth was committed to an industrial school for stealing. In March of last year he was charged with absconding from an approved school to which he had been sent, and the Court made an order that he should be sent to a Borstal institution for a period of two years.
