HC Deb 18 July 1994 vol 247 c56W
Mrs. Fyfe

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) how many persons are currently in prison because there is no place available in a secure hospital; and what steps he is taking to resolve this problem;

(2) if he will publish the result of his inquiry into the imprisonment of persons for whom no place could be found in a secure hospital.

Mr. Stewart

The information requested by the hon. Member cannot be compiled in time before the House rises. I shall therefore write to the hon. Member as soon as it is available and arrange for a copy of the letter to be placed in the Library of the House for the benefit of other hon. Members.
