<p>We are committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all young people
in custody. Prison Service Order 3802, issued in 2004 ensures that Governors, Area
Managers and Heads of Groups have systems in place against the accidental release
of asbestos fibres within Young Offenders Institutions. I will write to the hon Member
on any incidents of exposure within the last five years, as it has not been possible
to determine this information within the timescale permitted.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>There
is no asbestos at the Secure Training Centre sites. Responsibility for managing any
asbestos-related risks in Secure Children’s Homes would rest with their managers and
owners, who are all local authorities, and information is not held centrally.</p>
