§ 71. Mr. Hugh Jenkinsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to relieve over-crowding at the Borstal Allocation Centre at Wormwood Scrubs.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsThe overcrowding at the Allocation Centre results from pressure on accommodation in training borstals. A new training borstal is being built and will be ready next year. Meanwhile, additional training places are being brought into use at existing borstals and I am taking steps to obtain supplementary accommodation which will be adapted to provide more places.
