HC Deb 11 November 1976 vol 919 cc208-9W
Mr. Prescott

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what changes were recommended by his Department's inspectorate after its visit to Hull Prison in 1971; and if they were all implemented.

Mr. John

The reports of the Prison Service Inspectorate to the Prisons Board on the operational management and administration of individual establishments are prepared on a confidential basis in order to produce frank discussion and recommendations. It follows that publishing the recommendations would be contrary to the basis on which the reports are produced and I regret, therefore, that I do not consider it would be right for me to do so.

Mr. Prescott

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the square footage per man in the lumber workshops in Hull Prison.

Mr. John

The woodwork shop allows 300 sq. ft. per prisoner.
