HC Deb 18 January 1999 vol 323 c340W
Mr. Keith Simpson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the cost has been of transporting and securing prisoners from HM prisons to NHS hospitals for medical examinations since 1 May 1997. [65748]

Mr. George Howarth

Any such arrangements would be made locally by the prison concerned. Financial information in this form is not recorded centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
