Sudbury Open Prison
Mr. McLoughlin: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the average length of (a) stay and (b) sentence was of detainees in Sudbury Open Prison in each of the last five years for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement. [91027]
Mr. Sutcliffe [holding answer 11 September 2006]: Information on the average length of stay at Sudbury prison is not centrally available, and providing information based on manually stored records could be achieved only at disproportionate cost. The following table gives the population in Sudbury prison by sentence length band at 30 June in each year since 2002. These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems. Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system and although shown to the last individual the figure may not be accurate to that level.

| < 12 months | 12 months <4 years | 4 years + | Total | |
Mr. McLoughlin: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people were detained in Sudbury Open Prison on the latest date for which figures are available; how many had been convicted of (a) murder, (b) grievous bodily harm, (c) sexual offences and (d) rape; and if he will make a statement. [91028]
Mr. Sutcliffe [holding answer 11 September 2006]: From data held on the prison IT system, there were 531 prisoners detained in Sudbury Open Prison on 31 July 2006, of whom 172 were held for offences of violence against the person. Information by individual category of offence is not available because the figures are small and the accuracy at this level of detail cannot be guaranteed. There were no prisoners held in Sudbury Open Prison for sexual offences including rape on that date. These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems. Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system and although shown to the last individual may not be accurate to that level.
Terrorism
Mr. Vara: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people were arrested in the UK under anti-terrorism legislation in each year since 1 January 2001; how many were charged; for which offences; under which legislation; on which day into the period of their detention each of those charged were charged; how many of those arrested were released without charge; and on which day into the period of their detention of those released without charge were released. [90558]
Mr. McNulty [holding answer 12 September 2006]: Statistics compiled from police records show that between 11 September 2001 and 31 March 2006, 997 people were arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 (TACT). Of these people, 154 were charged with offences under TACT and 79 of these were also charged under other legislation.
A further 175 were charged with offences under other legislation. During this period 570 people were released without charge. The Home Office does not collate information on the length of time an individual is detained prior to being charged or released and this could not be obtained without disproportionate cost.

Alistair Burt:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the (a) nationality, (b) sex, (c) date of birth and (d) immigration status is of each of the seven detainees who escaped from Yarl’s Wood following the fire on 14 February 2002 and whose
whereabouts remain uncertain and what their current status within the UK is. [79191]

[87659]
