§ Mr. Win GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the community rehabilitation centres operating in England and Wales indicating(a) the proximity of each to prisons, (b) the nature of their environs, (c) the number of places available at each centre and (d) the number of staff employed at each centre. [135405]
§ Mr. BoatengThe term community rehabilitation centre is not one which is in common use. However, there are currently 100 approved probation and bail hostels in England and Wales. The table shows the name of each approved hostel, the probation area it is in and the number of bedspaces it currently provides. Approved hostels provide an enhanced level of supervision in the community, as well as a supportive and structured environment, within which residents can be supervised effectively for as short a period as is necessary. They are intended as a base from which residents take full advantage of community facilities for work, education, training, treatment and recreation. They would therefore normally be based near to such facilities. Some approved hostels are near to prison establishments, but we do not have this information centrally. The number of staff employed in each approved hostel varies according to the number of bedspaces provided, but on average it would be between 18 and 24. Again, more detailed information is not centrally available.
