HC Deb 25 June 1999 vol 333 c474W
Mr. Malins

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prosecutions against persons taking drugs into prisons have taken place in each of the last five years; how many resulted in conviction; and of those, how many resulted in a custodial sentence. [88231]

Mr. Boateng

The Home Office Court Proceedings Database identifies prosecutions, convictions and type of sentence given for offences under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, as amended. But it does not identify the location of the offence.
