§ Mr. Grocottasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish in the Official Report figures to show the ratio of prisoners to population for each of the nine EEC countries for each of the last three years.
§ Dr. SummerskillIn 1974 the average number of prisoners in England and Wales was 96 per 100,000 of the population aged 14 and over. Figures for 1973 and 1972 were 96 and 100, respectively. Penal systems and definitions in other EEC countries differ markedly from those in England and Wales, and no strictly comparable figures can be provided.
