Miss Widdecombe
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 A. J. Pearson to Mr. George Howarth, dated 16 January 1997:
The Home Secretary has asked me, in the absence of the Director General from the office, to reply to your recent Question asking for the average amount of time prisoners spent in education in each month of the financial year 1995–6 and each month so far during 1996–7 (a) in each prison, (b) by prison type and (c) in the whole Prison Service.
The attached tables summarise the average number of hours per week that prisoners spent in education from April 1995 to September 1996, by prison, by prison type and in the whole Prison Service. I have arranged for copies of the tables to be placed in the Library.
The following categories have been included when calculating average education hours: daytime education, evening education, vocational training courses, construction and industrial training courses and physical education. Contracted-out prisons are not required to provide this detail of information therefore no figures are available.
