HC Deb 06 February 1975 vol 885 c610W
22. Mrs. Wise

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will arrange that when families of prisoners are on supplementary benefit they should receive reimbursement of travelling fares to the prison for each visit which the prison governor will allow, instead of for only one visit every 28 days.

Dr. Summerskill

Several possible extensions of the assisted visits scheme, including the one mentioned by my hon. Friend, have been under consideration, but it is unlikely that they can be implemented in the near future.
