answer text <p /> <p>We need to await the terms of the Court Order before we can decide how best to fulfil the ruling of the Court.</p><p>The judgment in this case was surprising, as there was never a specific ban on books. The restrictions on parcels have been in existence across most of the prison estate for many years and for very good reasons. Prisoners have access to the same library service as the rest of us, and can buy books through the prison shop.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The bulletin collates and presents statistics on the number of criminal offences created by government departments within each 12 month period. The bulletin does not capture information on all criminal offences made in legislation across the UK but only those offences that will be in force for England and Wales or England alone.</p><p> </p><p>The table below summarises the information available. 712 criminal offences were created during the period 1 June 2009 to May 2010.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Period covered</p></td><td><p>Number of legislative provisions (secondary &amp; primary) with new offences created within</p></td><td><p>Total criminal offences created</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1 June 2010 to 31 May 2011</p></td><td><p>33</p></td><td><p>174</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1 June 2011 to 31 May 2012</p></td><td><p>52</p></td><td><p>292</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1 June 2012 to 31 May 2013</p></td><td><p>60</p></td><td><p>327</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1 June 2013 to 31 May 2014</p></td><td><p>42</p></td><td><p>280</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>For the period from June 2012 to May 2013 it was estimated that 15 pieces of legislation that contained criminal offences were repealed or revoked. These pieces of legislation contained 140 offences but this estimate does not indicate whether an offence has been remade in another piece of legislation or if it has been completely removed from the statute book. Data are not available on repealed or revoked legislation or offences for the period from June 2009 to May 2012.</p><p> </p><p>The latest edition of the bulletin was published on 11 December.
