HC Deb 29 November 1956 vol 561 c65W
61. Mr. Royle

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many detention centres it is proposed shall be opened by the end of 1957 and 1958, respectively.

Major Lloyd-George

Three detention centres are now in use, two for junior boys at Kidlington, Oxfordshire, and Foston Hall, Derbyshire, respectively, and one for senior boys at Goudhurst, Kent. A second senior centre is expected to be opened at Werrington, Staffordshire, by the end of March. 1957. I intend to provide a junior and a senior centre in the North of England, but I am not at present in a position to say what funds will be available for this purpose in the financial year 1957–58.
