HC Deb 29 January 1942 vol 377 c939W
Lieutenant Butcher

asked the President of the Board of Education whether, where facilities exist, he will encourage the establishment of a youth centre so that various organisations serving young people may co-operate and co-ordinate their activities?

Mr. Butler

Every encouragement is being given by my Department to the establishment of youth centres wherever this is practicable under war-time conditions, and I believe that it is a not uncommon practice amongst local education authorities to offer the use of facilities in such youth centres to youth organisations in the vicinity.
