(2) if he will list for each local social services authority in Wales for each of the years 1975, 1980, 1985, 1987, 1988 and 1989 the number of placements made in prison department establishments of juveniles by virtue of the issue of a certificate of unruliness.
§ Mrs. RumboldThe information requested is not recorded centrally. The only information available relates to juveniles initially received on remand into prison service establishments.

The statistics are published annually in "Prison statistics England and Wales" (table 2.7 of the volume for 1989, Cm. 1221), a copy of which is in the Library. Information by area is not available.
