Mr. George Cunningham
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information has been collected by his Department during the last 10 years, or any part of that period, about the number of persons detained in police stations overnight for three nights or more without having appeared before a court in respect of the Metropolitan Police area, or any other area of the country, or on any sample basis whatsoever.
Dr. Summerskill
No such information has been collected by our Department, with the exception of information concerning extensions of detention under the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1974.
