Mr. Garnier: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many inmates escaped from each prison in each of the last eight years; how many were recaptured within (a) one hour, (b) 12 hours, (c) 24 hours, (d) seven days, (e) 28 days, (f) six calendar months, (g) one year and (h) more than one year, broken down by category of prison from which they escaped; and how many in each category have not been recaptured; [77442]

(2) how many inmates have escaped from each category of prison in each of the last eight years; and how many in each category who escaped were (a) British citizens and (b) foreign nationals who had been recommended to the Home Secretary for deportation by the sentencing court on completion of their sentence. [77443]

Mr. Sutcliffe: A total of 114 prisoners have escaped from prisons in the last eight years, there have been no category A escapes and, as at 13 July 2006, 13 escapees remain unlawfully at large. Centrally available records indicate that none of the escapees were foreign nationals who had been recommended for deportation on completion of their sentence. One was an illegal immigrant. Time to recapture is not routinely recorded centrally and could be obtained only by examination of individual records.
