HL Deb 19 June 1997 vol 580 c129WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, in consultation with the nominating authorities of the non-Christian faiths, they will seek to develop guidelines for the determination of visiting hours which could be applied uniformly throughout the prison system of England and Wales.

Lord Williams of Mostyn

This issue has been the subject of consultations with the nominating authorities of the non-Christian faiths through the Chaplain General's Consultation. Some responses have been received to an invitation to submit views; and consideration will be given to the case for guidelines when the process of consultation is complete.
