Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are his latest projections of prison population growth for the next 12 months.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

Responsibility for this matter has been delegated to the Director General of the Prison Service, who has been asked to arrange for a reply to be given.

Letter from Derek Lewis to Mr. Doug Hoyle, dated 4 May 1994: The Secretary of State has asked me to write to you in reply to your recent Question about the latest projections of prison population growth for the next twelve months. The latest population projection is described in paragraph 2.5 and Annex 1 of the HM Prison Service Corporate Plan 1994–97, a copy of which is enclosed. The projection is for an average population of 48,800 for 1994–95 and a population of 50,800 by March 1995. The projection is subject to considerable uncertainty as the population reflects what happens elsewhere in the Criminal Justice System.

Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the average certified normal accommodation and the average prisoner population, at each prison since 1980.
