Mr. Peter Robinson
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will state, in list form, the length of time each prisoner presently held on remand in Northern Ireland has been in prison.
Dr. Mawhinney
[holding answer 23 January 1992]: It would be inappropriate to list individual prisoners on remand in Northern Ireland, however, the following table gives a summary of the numbers of prisoners—male and female—held on remand.
| Time on remand | Number of prisoners |
| Less than 12 months | 334 |
| More than 12 months but less than 18 months | 35 |
| More than 18 months but less than 2 years | 12 |
| 2 years and over | 11 |
| Total | 392 |
Note: The above figures relate to prisoners serving continuous and uninterrupted periods in custody as at 30 November 1991.
