Mr. Peter Lloyd

Letter from Derek Lewis to Mr. Martin Redmond, dated 16 May 1994: The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Question asking if he will list by Her Majesty's prison and remand home/centre for the latest date he has figures available, the number of inmates whose place of residence is South Yorkshire; and what were the figures (a) 12 and (b) 24 months ago. The information available on where prisoners originate from is for the county of the court first committing to custody. The latest available provisional statistics are for the population in Prison Service establishments on 31 December 1993, who were first committed to custody by a court from South Yorkshire, and is given in the attached table. I regret to inform you that the information on the population available before 1993 is unreliable because of the high proportion of sentenced cases with no court data recorded.
