§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many senior attendance centres there are; and what is the current average cost of an attendance centre order.
§ Mr. MayhewThere are four senior attendance centres and three more are being planned. The latest information from which an estimate of the cost of an attendance centre order can be made relates to 1979. On a comparison of the total number of orders made in respect of senior and junior centres in 1979 with the total expenditure for the financial year 1979–80, the average cost per order at that time was about £35.
