HC Deb 26 March 1976 vol 908 cc310-1W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the weekly cost of keeping a female inmate in a borstal in England and Wales in 1974–75.

Dr. Summerskill

I regret that this information is not available as cost data for women's establishments are not maintained for prisons and borstals separately. The figure of £74 given on 17th February—[Vol. 905, c. 623–4]—in reply to the hon. Member's earlier Question on this subject should have referred to all female inmates and not to adults only.
