§ Mr. Mawbyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons normally resident in the South-West Region are serving sentences outside the region because of overcrowding, itemised by categories.
§ Mr. CarlisleInformation about the home addresses of prisoners is not collated centrally. In general, however, prisoners sentenced in the Prison Department, South-West Region serve their sentences in that Region, and are not transferred to prisons in other Regions solely to relieve the overcrowding in the South-West.
