HC Deb 04 July 1938 vol 338 c53W
Mr. Short

asked the Home Secretary whether he will give the total number of boys and girls in approved schools; the name and situation of each school; and the number in each, respectively?

Sir S. Hoare

The total number of boys and girls in the approved schools on 25th June was 9,153. There are 105 schools and the full postal addresses and certified accommodation of each will be found in the official Directory of Probation Homes, Approved Schools, etc., of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy. It may be taken that, with a few exceptions, the certified accommodation of each school is fully occupied.
