HC Deb 14 March 2000 vol 346 c156W
Dr. Cable

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department for each year that figures are available what percentage of the prisoners released on licence under home detention curfew were(a) juveniles and (b) young offenders. [113915]

Mr. Boateng

From 28 January 1999 to 31 January 2000, 15.5 per cent. of those prisoners placed on Home Detention Curfew were under the age of 21. Of these, none was aged under 18, as Home Detention Curfew does not apply to prisoners under the age of 18.
