asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what factors contributed to the delay between the inspection of Pucklechurch remand centre by Her Majesty's inspectorate of prisons in August 1982 and the publication of the inspectorate's report in June 1985.

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to his question on 8 July at column 316. I regret that that answer gave the impression that only 5 reports were received in 1982 and 1983 together. In fact 5 reports were received in 1983 (14 having been received in 1982).
