We have made a study of remands in one month earlier this year and the results of that study are now being analysed, but I have nothing more to add at the moment, except to say that it should give us some indication of the number of men on bail when remanded. Of course, my right hon. Friend has no power to give directions to the courts on how they should perform the duties placed upon them by Parliament. However, the hon. Gentleman will remember that earlier this year we passed the Maintenance Orders Act, which will come into operation early next year. We hope that that legislation will be beneficial in reducing the number of short-term prisoners.
