§ Mr. Bensonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Borstal girls were involved in the recent disturbance in Holloway Prison; how many were sentenced to Borstal for absconding from approved schools; and what proportion of these were originally care and protection cases.
§ Mr. EdeThe figures asked for in the first two parts of the Question are six and two respectively. Both the girls referred to in the second part of the Question were originally care and protection cases.
§ Mr. Bensonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the Borstal allocation centre for girls will be transferred from Holloway to Aylesbury.
§ Mr. EdeThe transfer will be effected as soon as the accommodation situation permits, but I regret that I am not in a position at the moment to give an exact date.
