Mr. Beith: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list for (i) HMP Wolds and (ii) HMP Buckley Hall the number of incidents that have occurred during each of the last three financial years of the respective contracts in respect of (a) assaults on staff, (b) assaults by prisoners on other prisoners, (c) self harm, (d) class A drug finds, (e) other drug finds, (f) items smuggled into the prison, (g) delayed request replies, (h) failure to use agreed reporting procedures, (i) failure to achieve 95 per cent. occupancy of employment places, (j) key/lock compromises, (k) attempted escapes, (l) temporary release failures and (m) recapture and surrender. [83919] Mr. George Howarth: The information requested is given in the table. The information requested about Buckley Hall on items smuggled into prison, failure to use agreed reporting procedures and failure to achieve 95 per cent. occupancy of employment places is not available because there is no contractual obligation for such information to be collected. The figures requested regarding recapture and surrender are not available because prisoners may surrender to another prison.

[83594] Mr. George Howarth: Self-harm statistics available centrally do not allow for a break down by age or by individual category of prisoner. The numbers of self-harm incidents reported by Prison Service establishments covering the period September 1997 to October 1998, the last 12 month period for which complete statistics are currently available, and broken down by broad prison category and gender, are given in the table. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mr. Cox: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many recorded incidents there were in prisons in England and Wales of inmates causing self-harm in the last years for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement. [65289] Mr. George Howarth: The number of self-harm incidents reported by Prison Service establishments in the three years between 1995-96 and 1997-98 is set out in the table. Some caution is required in interpreting the table. A number of factors influence the pattern of figures across establishments and time. For instance, there would be a higher volume of prisoners associated with local prisons and a single disturbed prisoner can be responsible for a large number of self-harm incidents in any one year. The Prison Service is developing a range of measures to reduce levels of self-harm including: reviewing screening processes to identify those at risk; sharing good practice; improving cell design to produce a safer environment; and conducting research into suicide and self-injury. The Government take a particular interest in this important area of work. My noble Friend Lord Williams chairs a regular meeting between the Prison Service and a range of representatives from groups interested in prison suicides. These include: the Samaritans; Howard League; Prison Reform Trust; Inquest and the Board of Visitors. The meetings are held to discuss how the Prison Service and these groups can work more closely together to try to reduce the rate of suicides and instances of self-harm. We welcome the current thematic review of suicide and self-harm conducted by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons and look forward to seeing his report which is soon to be published.
