HC Deb 04 August 1966 vol 733 c151W
41. Mr. Carlisle

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the prison-building programme will be affected by the reduction in £1½ million in his Department's services.

Miss Bacon

Yes. This part of the Home Office programme cannot be exempted from the cut; and there is bound to be some slowing down in carrying out desirable works.
