Mrs. Adamsonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many children are in remand homes, awaiting vacancies in approved schools; and how many children are awaiting vacancies in approved schools but are not in remand homes?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonAt the end of last month the total number of children and young persons awaiting admission to Approved Schools was approximately 1,340. No figures are available for those not in Remand Homes, but I am advised that they form only a small proportion of the total.
