HC Deb 22 April 1980 vol 983 c96W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the longest period of time that a prisoner, currently in Winson Green prison has been on remand; and what is the offence with which he is charged.

Mr. Brittan

I assume the question relates to time held on remand in custody. The longest period for which any person held on remand in custody in Birmingham prison on 29 February 1980 had been so held was 325 days. The man concerned had been charged with robbery.
