HC Deb 02 March 1978 vol 945 c312W
40. Mr. Peter Bottomley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he expects in the year 1978–79 that existing standards in prison establishments, in respect of education and workshop hours, will be maintained.

Mr. John

We hope to avoid a decrease in average workshop hours but education hours can be held at their present level only if additional resources can be made available during the period.
