HC Deb 24 November 1992 vol 214 c548W
Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether Her Majesty's prison Manchester will be used for young people awaiting allocation to a young offender institution once it becomes fully operational.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

There are no immediate plans to use Manchester prison for this purpose, but the invitation to tender issued in connection with the market testing of the establishment covers the possibility of its holding young prisoners.

Sir Dudley Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to reply to the letter from the hon. Member for Warwick and Leamington of 7 August and 24 August about the growth of juvenile crime in the mid-Warwickshire area.

Mr. Jack

I shall write to my hon. Friend this week.
