HC Deb 19 March 1984 vol 56 c328W
Mr. Dubs

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prisoners held on remand in police or court cells have escaped since the beginning of 1983; with which offences they had been charged; and how many were not recaptured on the day of escape.

Mr. Hurd

This information cannot all be obtained without disproportionate cost, but I will see what can be collected and write to the hon. Member.
