HC Deb 13 June 1989 vol 154 cc369-72W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many prisoners on remand awaiting trial or sentence are confined in dormitory accommodition;

(2) in how many prisons in each security category prisoners are confined in dormitory accommodation; and how many prisoners are so confined in each prison.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

[holding answer 6 June 1989]: The available information relates to prisoners held in rooms defined as any unit of accommodation whether secure or otherwise designed for 2 or more persons excluding accommodation defined as a double cell". This definition encompasses accommodation conventionally known as dormitories. The available information does not distinguish between classes of occupant but unsentenced prisoners are not normally held in dormitories.
