HC Deb 31 July 1984 vol 65 c216W
Mr. Soley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prisoners, eligible for remission, have been refused it in the last five years for reasons other than a disciplinary award.

Mr. Hurd

None. Prisoners are granted remission of sentence in accordance with the provisions of rule 5 of the Prison Rules 1964 (as amended) and they may be deprived of it only by an adjudication award for an offence against prison discipline.
