HC Deb 14 October 1975 vol 897 c668W
Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the amount spent weekly on food for each guard dog at Brixton Prison.

Dr. Summerskill

There are 12 dogs at Brixton. Each of them is provided with 1½ lb of meat bought by the dog handler and 1lb of biscuits daily. During the financial year 1974–75 the cost of this food for each dog amounted to about £3.45 per week.
