To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many prisoners were charged with disciplinary offences, and which offences, following disturbances at Her Majesty's prison Maghaberry on 2 March.

Mr. Mates
On 2 March 1992 a full search of the female section of Her Majesty's prison, Maghaberry was carried out.As a consequence of their refusal to co-operate in full searching, 22 prisoners were charged with disobeying a lawful order. Ten of these prisoners were also charged with offending against security and good order of the prison; of these, five were further charged with commiting an assault.
