HC Deb 27 October 1970 vol 805 cc47-8W
Mr. Golding

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether additional remand home facilities will be made available in North Staffordshire.

Mr. Carlisle

The provision of remand homes is a matter for local authorities, and I am not aware of any current proposals for additional remand facilities in North Staffordshire. This will be a matter for consideration in connection with the regional plan which the children's regional planning committee is required to prepare under section 36 of the Children and Young Persons Act, 1969.
