Prisoners: Parole
Justice
Written answers and statements, 14 September 2009
Malcolm Moss (North East Cambridgeshire, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many prisoners on parole from Whitemoor Prison (a) breached their parole terms and (b) his Department has lost touch with in each of the last 15 years; and if he will make a statement.
Jack Straw (Lord Chancellor, Ministry of Justice; Blackburn, Labour)
Centrally held information on those prisoners released on licence and who are subsequently recalled cannot be broken down by the prisons from which the offenders were initially released. To provide the information requested would require a manual check of individual records and this would incur disproportionate costs.
