§ Mr. HurdSeventy-seven prison department establishments in England and Wales have heating systems fired by oil. These establishments are listed in the following table. Whenever major work is required on boiler systems coal 283W is considered along with other fuels.

In the case of the 10 planned new prisons where a decision has already been taken coal has been shown by the investment appraisals to be the best choice.
