To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department in what secure accommodation (a) young adults and (b) juvenile offenders attached to Welsh youth offending teams are held; in what secure accommodation such offenders were held in each year since 2000; and if he will make a statement. (106982)

The information requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost. The following tables show, by custodial establishment, how many young people from Wales were held in the secure estate for children and young people on 24 November in each year from 2000 onwards. Only those over-18s who were serving a juvenile sentence—such as a detention and training order—are included. Those over 18 who are sentenced as young adults are held in the young adult estate and are the responsibility of a Probation Board rather than a Youth Offending Team.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many young people serving detention and training orders who were designated as having been vulnerable by the Youth Justice Board were transferred into the adult prison estate in each month since 2004. (101680)

The statistics requested are not collected in the format requested and could not be obtained without disproportionate cost.

When any young person is being considered for a move into the over-18 estate, a full review of suitability is conducted by the Prison Service and the Youth Justice Board. The review looks at possible risk factors, such as child protection concerns, risk of self-harm or suicide, concerns about bullying and mental health issues; and considers whether the young person will be able to cope in the new setting. Moves will not be approved if there are significant risk factors.
