HC Deb 25 March 1965 vol 709 cc124-5W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce working sea cruises in specially adapted ships as rehabilitation treatment for juvenile and other specially selected criminal delinquents.

Miss Bacon

My right hon. Friend recognises the attractions of this proposal, but he thinks the practical difficulties in any general application of it are too great. Two of the three nautical approved schools at which boys are trained in seamanship will soon have boats in which they can go to sea for a week at a time.
