HC Deb 27 November 1980 vol 994 c138W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether young offenders held in prison whilst awaiting allocation to a place in borstal, whose placement has been delayed as a result of the prison officers' dispute, will have the period which they have spent in prison deducted from their period of borstal training.

Mr. Brittan

Yes. All time spent in custody after sentence will be counted when release dates are set.
