HC Deb 19 February 1998 vol 306 c851W
Mr. Wallace

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many prisoners in Scottish prisons are currently studying for(a) a higher education qualification, (b) a further education qualification and (c) higher grade or standard grade examination qualifications. [29027]

Mr. McLeish

[holding answer 12 February 1998]: The information requested is:

  1. a. A higher education qualification: 35
  2. b. A further education qualification: 1,470
  3. c. A higher or standard grade qualification: 89.

There is some double counting as a small number of prisoners are studying for a higher or standard grade qualification as well as a further education qualification.
