HC Deb 27 April 1972 vol 835 c1761
26. Mr. Wyn Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will arrange a religious service in the Welsh language every Sunday for Welsh speaking prisoners at Walton Gaol.

Mr. Carlisle

Arrangements have been made for a Welsh-speaking minister of religion to conduct a service in Welsh once a fortnight when there are prisoners who wish to attend.

Mr. Roberts

I am grateful to my hon. and learned Friend for that information. As biblical quotations are the order of the day, may I ask him to bear in mind the verse that where two or three are gathered together, it might help towards their reform?

Mr. Carlisle

In this prison there are at the moment 19 gathered together.
