§ Mr. Robert Cookeasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will improve the facilities for visits by the children of prisoners to their parents in Her Majesty's Prisons.
§ Miss BaconChildren can and do go with a responsible person to visit a parent in prison, if the prisoner concerned agrees. Widespread improvements have been made in recent years in the accommodation for visits in prisons, so that they can take place in the most favourable conditions compatible with preventing irregularities. If the hon. Member has a particular case in mind and would let me have details, I shall be glad to look into it.
