HC Deb 28 October 1983 vol 47 c222W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if it is his intention to earmark one of the new prisons now being constructed as a special prison for male psychiatric prisoners.

Mr. Hurd

The prison service already has one establishment with a psychiatrically oriented regime at Grendon, Buckinghamshire, and there are no plans at present for further purpose-built psychiatric prisons. The need for specialised facilities of this kind within existing establishments is, however, kept under continuous review.
