HC Deb 02 June 1960 vol 624 c155W
56. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what further particulars he can now give in respect of improvements in the conditions and administration of remand homes and approved schools.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I am pressing on with the measures to which I referred in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Ashford (Mr. Deedes) on 28th January, in consultation with the interests concerned. In particular, a much expanded building and improvement plan for approved schools and remand homes has been put in hand and it is hoped to authorise starts to the value of £750,000 in the current financial year.
