HC Deb 10 June 1992 vol 209 cc168-71W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will list, by prison establishment, the current number of inmates held; what is the recommended establishment per Her Majesty's prison; and what was the comparable figure 12 months ago;

(2) if he will list by Her Majesty's prison establishment, the current number of inmates held per cell; what was the comparable figure 12 months ago; and if he will indicate those establishments where women are held.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The number of inmates held in each Prison Service establishment in England and Wales and the certified normal accommodation (CNA) for 4 June 1991 and 4 June 1992 for those establishments are shown in the table.

Information on the number of inmates held per cell is not collected centrally. But on 10 May (the latest date for which figures are available) 9,392 inmates were being held two to a cell designed for one, 1,294 fewer than 12 months ago. The number of prisoners being held three to a cell designed for one was 1,038 which was 969 fewer than in May 1991.
