HC Deb 22 April 1980 vol 983 cc97-8W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the longest period of time a prisoner currently in Leeds prison has been on remand; and what is the offence with which he is charged.

Mr. Brittan

I assume the question relates to time held on remand in custody. The longest period for which any person held on remand in custody in Leeds prison on 29 February 1980 had been so held was 269 days. The man concerned had been charged with three offences of burglary and one of taking a motor vehicle without the owner's consent.
