asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the weekly cost of keeping the prisoner Barry Goodwin in Her Majesty's Prison; and why, as Goodwin is an Australian citizen, he has not been deported to Australia where he faces further charges.

The cost of keeping particular persons in custody is not separately recorded. It is not the normal practice to deport a person serving a sentence of imprisonment until he becomes eligible for release from prison under the ordinary rules relating to remission of sentence or the grant of parole.
