Mr Speaker
We are not debating the question of whether Richard III incurred parking fines.
Kerry McCarthy (Bristol East) (Lab)
I have been in touch with the Youth Justice Board about the decision to change Ashfield young offenders institution into an adult prison. I am told that young offenders from the Bristol area will now be sent as far away as Feltham. I am concerned about their contact with their families, chances of rehabilitation and so on. What reassurance can the Minister give me that those facts will be taken into account?
