§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many boys at New Hall, Send, Haslar and Foston detention centres have been transferred on the grounds that they are medically unfit for the regime since the experimental tougher regimes were introduced at these centres.
§ Mr. MayhewThe toughter regimes pilot project was introduced at New Hall and Send detention centres on 21 April 1980 and at Foston Hall and Haslar detention centres on 7 September 1981. The numbers of trainees transferred to other detention centres on medical grounds between those dates and 27 January 1982 were 81 from New Hall, 107 from Send, none form Foston Hall and 16 from Haslar; the average for all four centres is just below 7 per cent. of the trainees sent to them.
