§ Mr. ClappisonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Newark (Mrs. Jones) on 1 June 1998,Official Report, columns 50–51, what estimate he has made of the aggregate licence fees which would be paid in respect of in-cell television when it is fully available in the event of the ending of Crown exemption. [44609]
§ Ms QuinNone, as yet. The Government propose to consider the practicability of a licensing regime later on in the context of licensing arrangements more generally. Meanwhile, prisoners with this earned privilege will pay a weekly charge of about £1, against average weekly earnings of £7.50, which will fully cover the costs of sets, their replacement and wall brackets.
