§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list for each year since 1974 the number of persons(a) interviewed, (b) charged and (c) convicted under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.
§ Mr. WaddingtonThe readily available information on those detained under the prevention of terrorism legislation of Great Britain is published quarterly in Home Office statistical bulletins which are placed in the Library; the latest, issue 36/89, gives information on those detained up to the third quarter of 1989. Information on the outcome of charges following detention under this legislation is published in the end of year bulletins in this series; tables 6 and 7 of issue 3/89 give the figures for those detained over the period of the current legislation. Figures relating to earlier legislation can be obtained from corresponding earlier bulletins in this series.
