§ Mr. OatenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what measures are in place to ensure that juvenile prisoners are fed adequately while being transported from court to prison. [144358]
§ Paul GogginsEscort contractors have a contractual responsibility to provide meals to all prisoners, including juveniles, who are in their custody between 11:30 hours and 14:00 hours; and also in circumstances, such as a late court sitting, which would result in prisoners arriving at the prison after mealtime. The contract requires that meals must be sufficient to sustain the prisoners and meet dietary needs.
