HC Deb 29 June 1938 vol 337 cc1928-9W
Mr. Cassells

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is now prepared, after due investigation, to permit of judges in the Scottish inferior courts enlisting the services of psycho-analysts in cases where the treatment of juvenile delinquents arise?

Mr. Wedderburn

The attention of courts in Scotland has already been drawn to their powers to require young offenders to be examined by properly qualified experts, and I have no reason to think that these powers are not exercised in all appropriate cases.
