§ Mr. Beithasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what rental income he estimates to have been forgone by the leaving unoccupied during 1976 of the 142 houses currently unoccupied at Her Majesty's Prison, Acklington.
§ Mr. JohnIt is not possible to suggest a meaningful figure, since prison officers do not pay rent for quarters and, owing to the isolated position of the houses, it is unlikely that suitable tenants would have been found if they had been available for letting to members of the public.
