Early Release Scheme

HC Deb 14 March 2001 vol 364 cc619-20W

Mr. Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many prisoners who have been released under the Government's early release scheme reside in Lancashire; [153213]

(2) how many prisoners who reside in Wales were released under the early release scheme; and how many of them have re-offended. [153214]

Mr. Boateng

The figures required to answer these questions are not centrally available, and would incur disproportionate costs to retrieve.
