§ 37. Mr. Bob RussellTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department how many safe cells were installed in courts in the last financial year; and how many will be installed in the current financial year. [118163]
§ Jane KennedyCustody areas in courts are not designed for holding individuals overnight. They do not reflect, therefore, the design requirements of HM Prison Service's improved standard cell. No cells to the improved standard cell design were installed in courts in 1999–2000 or are planned to be installed in 2000–01.
