§ Mr. Cyril Smithasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the cost of providing the kitchens at the new Wymott prison, Leyland; and if these kitchens are now, six months after opening, inadequate for the number of prisoners which the prison is capable of housing.
§ Mr. BrittanThe cost of providing the kitchens was £240,000. There is no reason to think that the kitchens will be inadequate when the establishment has built up to full capacity.
§ Mr. Cyril Smithasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the laundry facilities at Her Majesty's prison, Wymott, Leyland, are not being fully used, taking into account external orders from other Government services.
§ Mr. BrittanWork has still to be done on the laundry, but some capacity is available and this is being fully used. There are plans to take up further capacity as it becomes available.
