HC Deb 02 February 1978 vol 943 cc277-8W
45. Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will amend the Prison Rules to extend the time and number of visits allowed to those in prison.

Dr. Summerskill

No. Wherever possible the statutory entitlements are already exceeded, but limited manpower and accommodation preclude that in many prisons.
