Hilary Benn

The percentage of positive random mandatory drug tests for prisons in England and Wales broken down by drug group over the time period requested are set out in the following table.

discussions formed part of the Library's continual review of its collections and holdings and identified the need to investigate a more secure home for this collection where improved public access can be granted.

Mr. Dominic Grieve

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what arrangements exist to permit public access to his Department's collection of English Civil War pamphlets. [106490]

Mr. Bob Ainsworth

[holding answer 1 April 2003]: There is no general public access to the Home Office Library where this material is held. Bona fide researchers are permitted access by prior appointment only to refer to material not available elsewhere.

Mr. Dominic Grieve

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what English Civil War pamphlets are held by his Department; and how many of these are unique. [106491]

Mr. Bob Ainsworth

[holding answer 1 April 2003]: The collection of English Civil War pamphlets held in the Home Department's Library consists of over 900 items bound into 17 volumes. The Library has not compiled a catalogue of these individual items.

It follows that it has not been possible to determine which items are unique. To do so would also require access to a range of specialist catalogues that the Library does not hold.
