HC Deb 14 November 1991 vol 198 c630W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposal he has for the reconstruction of Her Majesty's youth remand centre at Pucklechurch or in another convenient location.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

I announced on 24 July at columns598–600 the outcome of a review of the prison estate. This included proposals to close Pucklechurch remand centre in 1993–94, to convert part of Gloucester prison to a remand centre for male young offenders in 1992–93 and to reopen in 1993–94 Eastwood Park, following its closure as a young offender institution in 1992–93, as a female establishment.

We are considering representations on these and other review proposals. I hope to make a further announcement soon.
