HC Deb 10 June 1975 vol 893 c114W
Mr. Watkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now consider reviewing the rôle and responsibilities of boards of visitors of penal institutions.

Dr. Summerskill

My right hon. Friend has no specific proposals in mind at present, but we shall be seeking the views of boards of visitors on the suggestions made in the recent report of the committee set up by Justice, the Howard League and NACRO.
