§ 42 and 43. Mr. Worsleyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) whether vacancies in detention centres are normally available when required by magistrates' courts in the London area;
(2) what plans he has for the provision of more places in detention centres, to be available when required by magistrates' courts in the London area.
§ Miss BaconA public inquiry was opened last week on an application for planning clearance for the use of premises near Wokingham as a detention centre which would provide an additional 200 places for courts in the London area. I am sorry to say that at present the requirements of these courts cannot be fully met.
