To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many young offenders in England and Wales, subject to supervision orders, are in residential institutions in Scotland. [115825]

The supervision order is a community sentence available in England and Wales which places the offender under the supervision of a youth offending team, and can also require offenders to live in local authority accommodation or undergo treatment in a mental health institution. We do not hold information centrally on how many offenders made subject to these requirements are resident in institutions in Scotland. This could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
