§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many young men at each centre within the borstal system have committed suicide and how many have attempted to commit suicide in each of the existing borstal centres during each of the last 10 years for which records are available.
§ Mr. BrittanThe information is contained in the following table. I regret that the total number of attempted suicides in borstals in 1973 was wrongly given as 56 in the answer I gave to a question by the hon. and learned Member on Monday 17 December.—[Vol. 976, c. 2–4.]
