HC Deb 30 July 1984 vol 65 c70W
Mr. Corbyn

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) on what convictions persons are being held in British jails under the Prevention of Terrorism Acts; and how long they have to serve;

(2) how many persons are imprisoned in prisons in England, Wales and Scotland under the Prevention of Terrorism Acts; what are their names; and which are the prisons in which they are held.

Mr. Hurd

According to the records held centrally., on 30 June 1984 no prisoners in prison department establishments in England and Wales were serving sentences for offences under the Prevention of Terrorism Acts. Information for Great Britain on custodial sentences imposed for offences under these Acts is published in the quarterly statistical bulletin on the operation of the prevention of terrorism legislation—table 4 of the latest issue, 10/84.
