Dear Mr Coombe

Thank you for your email of 28 May in which you ask:

How many Prisons in the UK provide Sky or Cable facilities & Entertainment Games Consoles?

We have already stated that your request will be processed for Prisons in England and Wales only.

I am sorry for the delay and apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please be assured that your request does have our attention and that this office will reply as soon as it is in a position to do so. Your continued patience with this matter is appreciated.

Yours sincerely
