HC Deb 22 November 1972 vol 846 c423W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action has been taken during the past year to reduce or end the practice of slopping-out in prison establishments and to improve toilet facilities.

Mr. Carlisle

Provision is being made in all newly designed prisons and cell blocks for sanitary facilities which make slopping out unnecessary. Improvements to sanitary and washing facilities are being made at a number of existing establishments and will be undertaken elsewhere as resources permit.
