In order to establish the number of occasions, in each of the last four years, where contraband had been found in post sent to prisoners, would require the examination of over 62,000 individual electronic incident files. This could only be achieved at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 08/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
