§ Mr. Alison[pursuant to his reply, 21 July 1980, c. 27]: All convicted prisoners in Northern Ireland serve their sentences there unless, as I informed the hon. Member on 2 June, they apply successfully to serve their sentence in another part of the United Kingdom.
Since 1969 one application from a Service man has been refused.
