asked the Home Secretary if he will form a committee of inquiry to inquire into the case of Doris Hawker, the seven-year-old child sent to Madras, the committee also to make general inquiries as to how girls are disposed of by charitable institutions formed to take care of young girls?

I have in the, first instance asked the Chief Inspector of Reformatory and Industrial Schools to investigate by personal visit the question of the disposal of girls from the Princess Louise Home and other representative voluntary institutions.
