HC Deb 15 July 1991 vol 195 c18W
Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many British nationals have absconded from home leave in each of the last five years and have not been recaptured.

Mrs. Rumbold

Since details of the nationality of prisoners who fail to return from home leave are not routinely collected, the information requested is not readily available and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
