AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for a question in similar terms, notice of which was given on 5 September 2001. The second part of the question of which notice was given reads, “Does the Government have any plans to build a minimum security prison for women?” That is somewhat different from the question the member has just asked. I propose therefore to answer the question of which notice was given some months ago. (1) In July and August, 25 women prisoners were transferred to Greenough Regional Prison, and two were transferred to other regional prisons. (2) Yes.
