§ Sir Peter LloydTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many children have been re-admitted to each of the secure training centres(a) for breach of the order and (b) under a new sentence. [120623]
§ Mr. BoatengThe secure training order under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 was implemented on 1 March 1998 and was replaced by the detention and training order under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 on 1 April 2000. The custodial part of the secure training order could be served in a secure training centre or a local authority secure unit if no secure training centre place was available.
389 offenders were sentenced to a secure training order. 46 of them were returned to custody by the courts for the breach of supervision requirements following release and 31 were later sentenced to a secure training order for a further offence. A breakdown of this information for each secure training centre is not currently available and I will write to the right hon. Member when it has been prepared.
