HC Deb 27 February 2002 vol 380 cc1396-7W
Mrs. Curtis-Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many criminals who have been convicted of sex abuse have refused to attend sex offenders treatment programmes in each year since 1997. [37776]

Beverley Hughes

There are no figures kept centrally about the number of prisoners convicted of sex abuse who have refused to take part in the sex offenders treatment programme and this information could be collected only at disproportionate cost.
