HC Deb 10 March 1981 vol 1000 cc279-80W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the total number of juveniles, by sex, held by the Metropolitan Police in 1980 in which intimation to a reasonable named person was delayed under section 62 for (a) four hours or more and (b) 24 hours or more; and what were the reasons in each case.

Mr. Mayhew

The information which can be made available without disproportionate cost relates to the number of juveniles where, following a request, the intimation of arrest was not conveyed within 24 hours. No such case was recorded in the Metropolitan Police district in 1980.

Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the number, age and sex of those juveniles, by establishment, in (a) prisons and (b) remand centres at the latest available date.

Mr. Mayhew
