HC Deb 29 June 1972 vol 839 c385W
35. Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he proposes to review the financial expenditure of the Prison Department.

The wide range of prison expenditure in England and Wales is regularly reviewed as part of the annual preparation of programmes of public expenditure, and of parliamentary Estimates; and particular elements are examined outside the annual exercise as occasion demands.
