HC Deb 30 May 1963 vol 678 cc164-5W
Mr. W. Clark

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has for the provision of a senior detention centre for the use of those courts in the East Midlands which at present have no such centre available.

Mr. Brooke

I have decided that North Sea Camp, near Boston, Lincolnshire, at present an open borstal, should be brought into use as a senior detention centre towards the end of this year. A limited amount of secure accommodation will be provided for this purpose, but, as an experiment, most of the boys will be accommodated in open conditions.
