asked Her Majesty's Government:

The Minister of State, Home Office (Earl Ferrers)

The total numbers of prisoners held in police cells on each day (excluding weekends and bank holidays) since 1st July are shown in the attached table. Data are not collected in a way which enables the number of remand prisoners to be readily distinguished from sentenced prisoners, but most would have been held on remand.
