§ 49. Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proportion of remand prisoners held in custody during 1988 later received a custodial sentence.
§ Mr. Peter LloydThe information for 1988 is incomplete because for a proportion of the prisoners the outcome of court proceedings is not yet recorded. Final figures for 1987 and provisional figures for 1988 are given in tables 2.10 and 2.6 respectively of "Prison Statistics England and Wales 1988", published today, which is available in the Library.
