HC Deb 24 June 1971 vol 819 c337W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will now make separate provision for an assessment centre for girls on remand from juvenile courts in the Leicester area.

Mr. Alison

The provision of remand and assessment facilities is a local authority responsibility. It is a matter for the Children's Regional Planning Committee to review the adequacy of these facilities in the Leicester area in the course of preparing their regional plan under Section 36 of the Children and Young Persons Act, 1969.
