Prisons: Drugs

Asked by Nick TimothyConservativeMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 1 June 2026UIN 3506

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, to provide a list of the types of drugs recovered from drones in prisons in the past six months.

Answered by Jake Richards

The information requested cannot be provided without incurring disproportionate cost. Reports of finds can include an indication of the likely nature of the substance found, but this is subject to subsequent testing, and these data are not collated centrally.
