Baroness Macleod of Borve

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have completed their consideration of the proposals made by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons for England and Wales in his report for 1981.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Home Office (The Lord Elton)

The position of the Government on the main issues raised in the report of HM Chief Inspector and the action being taken to resolve them is set out in the foreword to the report. Consideration of the report's detailed proposals has now been completed and I am placing in the Library of the House a commentary by the Prison Department on each of the points raised by HM Chief Inspector.
