HC Deb 14 July 1983 vol 45 c404W
46. Mr. Madel

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many convicted prisoners, and those in custody awaiting trial, are currently being held in police stations in Bedfordshire having been sent there from London due to lack of such accommodation in the capital; how long he expects this situation to continue; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hurd

No prisoners are currently being held in police cells in Bedfordshire on behalf of the prison service.
