§ Mr. Tony LloydTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many remand prisoners have been held on remand in custody for more than 12 months; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter LloydThe latest available provisional data are for 30 June 1993. On that date there were about 200 untried prisoners and 100 convicted unsentenced prisoners in Prison Service establishments who had first been remanded in custody over 12 months earlier. Not all of these defendants will have been in continuous prison custody since their first remand. This period excludes any time spent in non-Prison Service establishments—eg police cells—before reception on remand into a Prison Service establishment.
