HC Deb 03 February 1977 vol 925 c239W
29. Rear-Admiral Morgan-Giles

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he will permit the staff of Winchester Prison to arrange a prison dog display at the Combined Cadet Force Tattoo which is being held in the summer in Winchester.

Mr. John

Severe restrictions on the use of manpower and determination of strict priorities for its use as a result of cuts in public expenditure forced the Department, reluctantly, to discontinue displays by prison dog teams at local shows during 1976. The same restraint is likely to be necessary in the coming financial year.
