§ Mr. Brittan[pursuant to his reply, 12 December 1980, c. 846.]: It is estimated that on 31 October 1980, in prison department establishments in England and Wales there were more than 800 persons on remand awaiting trial and more than 200 convicted persons awaiting sentence whose date of initial remand into custody was more than 110 days earlier. This takes no account of any time spent on bail during that period.
