HC Deb 16 April 1964 vol 693 c84W
35. Miss Bacon

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that the new prison to be opened at Stoke Heath is inaccessible by public transport; and to what extent, in choosing this site, he had regard to difficulties for the staff and their families and for visitors to prisoners.

Mr. Brooke

Accessibility is one of the most important factors in locating a prison, but ideal sites for prisons are hard to find. I know there is some difficulty at present, but better transport will be provided.
