§ Mr. AshleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many unruly certificates were issued in the last year for which figures are available.
§ Mrs. RumboldThe information requested is not recorded centrally. The only information available relates to juveniles initially received on remand into prison service establishments. These 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. An unruliness certificate is required for juveniles received as untried—1,387 in 1989—and for some of those received as convicted unsentenced—89 in 1989; it is not required for those committed in custody to the Crown court for sentence under section 37 of the Magistrates Courts Act.
