HC Deb 03 December 1991 vol 200 cc101-2W
Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales whether a secure unit in Wales will be provided in addition to the two new secure units announced by the Minister for Health.

Mr. Nicholas Bennett

The Welsh Office completed a review of secure care in Wales, the final report on which was published on 14 August 1991 and a copy of which was sent to the hon. Gentleman at that time.

One of the recommendations of the review is for a new secure unit to be provided in Wales.

The report was published for consultation with a closing date of 8 November 1991 and the many representations received are currently being considered.

Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the units providing secure accommodation for young people from Wales and show how many young people from Wales were in each of the secure units in each month of 1989, 1990 and the current year.

Mr. Nicholas Bennett

The form in which information is available is not readily extractable. The information will be assembled and I will write to the hon. Gentleman and place a copy of my letter in the Library of the House.
