HC Deb 11 May 1972 vol 836 cc411-2W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what improvements have been effected at Risley Remand Centre during 1970 and 1971 in respect of conditions and overcrowding.

Mr. Carlisle:

Prisoners can now spend more time out of their cells, and the arrangements for recreation and physical education have been improved. The daily average population in 1971 was slightly less than in 1970 but the centre is still overcrowded. New accommodation for 50 males will be available in 1973.
