Mr. Anthony Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list the names of the local authorities in each region of England and Wales whose proposals to contribute towards the provision of the 170 additional secure places required for criminal justice proposals have been accepted.

The information requested is shown in the table. A number of further proposed projects are being held in reserve should any of the selected projects be withdrawn on planning or other grounds. It is currently anticipated that, subject to planning procedures, construction of 110 of the additional places could be completed by the end of 1995 and the balance by mid-1996.
