	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The Youth Justice Board (YJB) is responsible for placing young people remanded or sentenced to custody in accordance with individual needs. The YJB recently announced that, reflecting the continued falls in the number of young people in custody, from April 2014 it would be reducing the number of beds it purchases in the Secure Children's Home sector.</p><p>As the YJB is not invoiced for escorts to Secure Children's Homes on a regional basis, the YJB does not hold data on the costs of escorts for young people from London and the South East being transported to Secure Children's Homes in other regions. Invoice information also does not separate out the costs of escorts to Secure Children's Homes and Secure Training Centres which are delivered under the same contract. Although the YJB does hold data on where young people have been collected from, and transported to, this information is not routinely collated and to calculate the cost of individual journeys to Secure Children's Homes could only be done at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 03/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright

Secure Colleges will place education at the heart of custody, and equip young people with the skills they need to turn their lives around.</p><p> </p><p>The current average cost of a place in youth custody is around £100,000 per annum, with some places costing in excess of £200,000. Secure colleges will achieve ongoing savings by operating at a significantly lower cost per place than the current average, while allowing withdrawal from more expensive and inefficient provision.</p><p> </p><p>The MOJ will not publish estimates of the annual cost per place until the operator competition for the Secure College has been completed, to avoid prejudicing the effectiveness of the competition.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 12/06/2014 15:22:49 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
