HC Deb 25 May 1989 vol 153 c638W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many remand prisoners from the Doncaster area were being held at Her Majesty's prison, Hull, on the latest date for which he has figures; if he will show in his answer the ages of these inmates; and if he will list the figures for one year; five years and 10 years ago.

Mr. Hurd

On 19 May there were in Hull prison 28 unsentenced prisoners whose home addresses were recorded as in Doncaster. The table shows their ages at the time of reception into custody.

Age Number of prisoners
17 4
18 3
19 2
20 2
21 3
22 2
23 2
24 1
25 1
26 1
27 2
28 1
29 1
30 1
31 1
44 1
TOTAL 28

Comparable figures for one year ago are not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. Comparable figures for five and 10 years ago do not exist, as unsentenced prisoners were not held at Hull prior to February 1986.
