HC Deb 27 July 1966 vol 732 cc259-60W
56. Mr. Small

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many local authorities have made no provision for probation services; and if he will publish a list of such authorities.

Mr. Willis

Administration of probation in each county and large burgh, or area formed by the combination of counties or counties and large burghs, is the responsibility of a probation com- mittee. There is no part of Scotland at present without probation services.
