Prison Services: Travelling People

Volume 472: debated on Tuesday 26 February 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much was spent by HM Prison Service on raising awareness of Gypsy and Traveller issues in each of the last three years; and if he will make a statement. (188290)

Figures for monies spent by HM Prison Service on raising awareness of Gypsy and Traveller issues are not available centrally for individual establishments.

To collect the information required would require contacting all public sector prisons in England and Wales individually and for each establishment to conduct a manual check of their local records. To do so would be at disproportionate cost.
