asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many licences were terminated early for good progress following release from (a) detention centres, (b) Borstals and (c) young prisoner establishments during the latest 12 months;(2) how many prisoners were released on licence in the latest 12 months in the following categories
(a) from detention centres, (b) from Borstals, (c) young prisoners serving under 18 months, (d) young prisoners serving over 18 months, (e) young prisoners released on parole and (f) adult prisoners released on parole; how many of these successfully completed their period on licence; how many in each category were recalled and how many such recalls were at the recommendation of the supervising probation officer; and how many licences were suspended.
The information available on terminations of after-care administered by the probation and aftercare service, by type of after-care, is published annually in "Probation and after-care statistics, England and Wales" (table 46 of the issue for 1980), a copy of which is in the Library of the House. Corresponding information for 1981 will be published later this year. Information of those released on parole and recalled from parole is published annually in the "Report of the Parole Board" (paragraphs 28 to 34 of the report for 1981). Reliable information is not available on those recalled from other types of licence.
