Replies to annual reports have been sent to the chairman of all the above boards—to their establishments—except for the following: Frankland, Portland, Pucklechurch and Parkhurst. In the case of the first two, the reply was delayed because Ministers were not satisfied with the information provided and asked for further investigation. Replies are currently being checked and will be sent shortly. In the case of Pucklechurch and Parkhurst, these reports were only received on 6 September and 15 September respectively. Their replies will follow shortly.
