§ Mr. MichaelTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to his answer of 19 October,Official Report, columns 64–65, (1) how many of the 616 prisoners came from each police area responsible for initiating action towards prosecutions; and in each case how many were remand prisoners and how many convicted prisoners;
(2) if he will show in respect of each police authority area how many of those held in police cells were remand prisoners and how many were convicted prisoners.
§ Mr. Peter Lloyd[holding answer 23 October 1992]: The information collected centrally does not separate remand and convicted prisoners held in police cells, but most would have been held on remand. It is also not possible to apply the available data to the Crown prosecution service areas, but the table gives the prisoner in police cells position for 16 October by prison service establishment. This may give the hon. Member a clearer indication of the origin of the prisoners concerned. 581W
