Mr. Lammy

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how (1) many young offenders within each Metropolitan police divisional borough are serving custodial sentences in young offenders institutions; [37005]

(2) how many young offenders from each parliamentary constituency in the Greater London area are serving custodial sentences in young offenders institutions. [37006]

Beverley Hughes

The data show young offenders who were serving custodial sentences on 31 January 2002 and were first committed in a Greater London court. Addresses of inmates prior to custody are not held centrally. Attempting to break these figures down by constituency or Metropolitan police divisional borough would not be accurate, as young offenders are not always committed at a court within the constituency where they live.
