Mrs. Renée Short
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he intends to remove Patricia Brown, a 14-year-old girl, from Holloway Prison.
Mr. Carlisle
This is not within my right hon. Friend's discretion. The court sent this girl to Holloway prison when committing her for trial at the Central Criminal Court because it considered that she was of so unruly a character that she could not safely be committed to the care of the local authority. There has been no application for bail.
