§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will abandon plans for the Full Sutton prison in favour of devoting resources to urban prison building.
§ Mr. MayhewNo.
§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what consideration he gave when reaching his decision to build a dispersal prison capable of taking category A prisoners in a remote place like Full Sutton to the fact that places for category A prisoners in the existing dispersal prisons are unoccupied.
§ Mr. MayhewOnly a small proportion of the population of dispersal prisons is in category A, most places being occupied by category B prisoners. There is no fixed number of places for category A prisoners and it therefore cannot be said that there are unoccupied places for category A prisoners.
