HC Deb 20 November 1984 vol 68 cc110-2W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prisoners held in Her Majesty's prisons are segregated under rule 43; at which prisons; and, of these, how many are aged under 17 years.

Mr. Mellor

The number of male convicted prisoners segregated under prison rule 43, either at their own request or for the maintenance of good order and discipline, on the latest date for which information is available is as follows:

I regret that information is not kept centrally on the segregation of women and unconvicted prisoners nor on the ages of male convicted prisoners segregated under prison rule 43.
