Mr. Malins

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many of those arrested in relation to possible drug-related offences while visiting prisons were(a) charged and (b) convicted of a criminal offence arising there from in the most recent year for which figures are available. [21616]

Mr. Michael

The court proceedings data which are collected centrally do identify convictions for offences under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, as amended, but they do not identify the charge originally made nor the location of the offence.
