§ 40. Mr. V. Yatesasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prison officers are at present living inside Her Majesty's prisons; and how many are in Strangeways Prison, Manchester.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeAt closed establishments 45 men and 47 women, including 12 women but no men at Strangeways Prison, Manchester. At open establishments 49 men and 23 women.
§ Mr. YatesIs it not unsatisfactory that so many officers should have to live inside the prisons, and in some cases, I think, in the cells? How long will it be before adequate accommodation is provided?
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeI am hoping by 1956–57—that is, next year—to be able to find accommodation which will overcome these figures.
