§ 100. Ms. MowlamTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what recent representations he has received concerning the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Bill.
§ Mr. HurdI have received a number of letters from members of the public expressing support for the Government's proposals for new measures aimed at curbing the finances of terrorist organisations, provision for which is now contained in the Bill. We have also consulted representatives of the banks and other financial institutions, both in London and Belfast, about these proposals and they have welcomed them and assured the Government that they will be co-operating fully with police investigations into dealings in suspected terrorist funds once the new provisions come into force.
720WChancellor of the Exchequer in his Autumn Statement. The full programme of new prison building is set out in the table.
The prison building programme includes major capital projects at existing establishments. Many of these schemes, some of which will take a number of years to complete, involve refurbishment and modernisation of living accommodation, including the provision of integral sanitation, and extra places. Work is also in progress to provide new places at existing establishments by the construction of ten 100-place houseblocks at Dover, Featherstone, Littlehey, Glen Parva (two), Full Sutton (two), New Hall, Stocken and Wayland. Details of the individual major capital projects for the coming year are currently being assembled and these will in due course be published as part of the 1989-90 Supply Estimates.
