HC Deb 13 April 1973 vol 854 c381W
Miss Quennell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why he supports the establishment of a rehabilitation unit at Standford Grange, Bordon.

Mr. Carlisle

It is the Government's policy to encourage voluntary bodies to provide facilities for the rehabilitation of socially inadequate offenders. I welcome the initiative of the Aaronson Trust, but the acquisition of the particular property is a matter between the trust and the local authorities concerned.

Miss Quennell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why he has asked the Hampshire County Council to sell its property, Standford Grange, Bordon, to the Aaronson Trust.

Mr. Carlisle

My right hon. Friend has not made any such request.
