HC Deb 10 February 1986 vol 91 c316W
Mr. Soley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what criteria were used in deciding the amount of double cell accommodation to be built into Woolwich and Bicester prisons; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellor

In relation to Woolwich prison, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to a question by the hon. Member for Woolwich (Mr. Cartwright) on 5 December at column 320. The design for Bicester prison is based in part on the Woolwich design, and similar considerations apply.
