Mr. Boateng

Since 1 April 2000, the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales have taken over the commissioning and purchasing of secure places for juveniles. They have provided the following information. There are currently three Local Authority Secure Units in the Greater London area as detailed in the table.

Dr. Cable

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prison officers, other than those in senior and principal grade, left through(a) resignations and (b) transfer from each of the London prisons and Feltham YOI in proportion to total officer numbers in each year for each establishment since 1995.
