HC Deb 19 October 1990 vol 177 c933W
Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will list for each local social services authority 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;

(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. Rumbold

The information requested is not recorded centrally. The only information available relates to juveniles initially received on remand into prison service establishments. An unruliness certificate is required for such juveniles received as untried and for some of those received as convicted unsentenced; it is not required for those committed in custody to the Crown court for sentence under section 37 of the Magistrates Courts Act. 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.
