Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his estimate of the numbers and percentage of prisoners who will be participating in drug treatment programmes in each of the next 10 years. [86956]

Mr. George Howarth

It is not possible to make any meaningful estimate at this stage. Implementation of the Prison Service drug strategy will allow projections to be made at the end of this financial year, once measurement and monitoring systems have been established.
