HC Deb 08 December 1983 vol 50 c204W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are the cases and the location, and the length of time that each had been held so far in a police or court cell, of the nine males under 21 years and the three females under 21 years held in police cells on the night of 24–25 November.

Mr. Hurd

I understand that, of the 12 prisoners under 21 held by the police on the night of 24–25 November, the nine males had been held by the Metropolitan Police since 22 November. All nine were taken into prison custody on 25 November. Of the three females, two were held by the Sussex police and one by the Metropolitan police, in each case for one night only. Information about their individual cases is not readily available.
