Prisons: Knives
(asked on 27th January 2016) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many knives have been confiscated in prisons in each year since 2010.
This question was answered on 1st February 2016
Historic data on estimates of the number of knives confiscated in prisons is not collected in a form that can be assured to be of sufficient quality for publication. A new enhanced incident reporting system has recently been introduced which does collect this data and assured data will be available at the end of the year.
