§ Mr. Tom Coxasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what has been the number of prison adjudications heard by members of prison boards of visitors in each of the prisons in England and Wales during each of the last three years.
370W
§ Mr. HurdThe publication of numbers of adjudications has been discontinued because it was found that many establishments reported the number of offences dealt with rather than the number of adjudications which took place.
The percentage of offences dealt with by boards of visitors is published in "Prison statistics, England and Wales" 1982 (Cmnd 9027); table 9(a) gives figures by type of establishment for 1976–82 and tables 9.3 to 9.7 give figures for each establishment in 1982.
