Greg Mulholland – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Greg Mulholland on 2016-01-28.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what information his Department holds on the number of weapons confiscated at each UK prison for each of the last five years.

Andrew Selous

Data on the confiscation of all types of weapons for the period requested could only be provided at disproportionate cost. I refer the Hon Member to PQ24706, which contains data on firearms, and PQ24558, which contains data on knives.
