§ Mr. Alex CarlileTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many(a) male and (b) female prisoners were serving prison sentences on 1 September for offences of importing controlled drugs;
(2) if he will enumerate by nationalities the prisoners serving sentences on 1 September for offences of importing controlled drugs, and the prisons in which they are serving their sentences.
§ Mrs. RumboldThe only readily available information on the types of drugs offence does not separately distinguish females or nationality; it is published annually in "Prison Statistics England and Wales" (table 1(a) of the latest volume, for 1989, Cm. 1221), copies of which are in the Library.
