Lord Harris of Greenwich

asked Her Majesty's Government

How much was paid by the Home Office to the Receiver of the Metropolitan Police District for holding remand prisoners in police cells in the financial year 1980–81 and in each succeeding financial year including 1990–91.

Earl Ferrers

Information (which would not distinguish between the costs of holding remand prisoners and other categories of prisoner) could not be obtained without disproportionate cost.
