To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many bail hostels there are within 50 miles of York; how many beds each of these hostels have; and on how many nights in the past 12 months (a) all or (b) 90 per cent. of those beds have been occupied.

There are four approved bail hostels within a 50-mile radius of York:

	Places
South Bank, Cleveland	24
Howden House, West Yorkshire	27
Walmer Villas, West Yorkshire	18
Town Moor, South Yorkshire	25
Total	94

Statistics on the occupancy of hostels are collected centrally in terms of a monthly average percentage and not on a daily basis, but in none of the four hostels concerned was average occupancy 90 per cent. or above during the last 12 months.
