HC Deb 16 February 1981 vol 999 c32W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what are the ages of the children currently at Glenthorne youth treatment centre.

Sir George Young

Five of the children are aged 17 years; 12 are 16 years; six are 15 years; three are 14 years; three are 13 years and one is 11 years old.

Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the age of the youngest child at Glenthorne youth treatment centre; how long he has been there; what is his home town; and how many visits he has had from social workers.

Sir George Young

The youngest child at Glenthorne youth treatment centre is 11 years old, has been at the Centre for six months and has received five visits from a social worker. I would prefer not to name the home town since this might enable the child to be identified, with possibly undesirable consequences for the child and the family.
