HC Deb 28 July 1977 vol 936 cc572-3W
Mr. John Evans

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list in the Official Report the local authorities from which young people remanded in Risley Remand Centre in 1977 have come.

Mr. John

The home areas of young persons remanded in custody could only be collated at disproportionate cost. The following information shows, where it is available, the district council areas of courts which are known to have remanded people aged 14–16 years to Risley Remand Centre during 1976 to await trial. Data for 1977 is not available.
