HC Deb 03 December 1980 vol 995 c103W
Mr. Best

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will seek to ensure that visits by barristers and solicitors to those remanded in custody at Her Majesty's prison Holloway may continue beyond 4.45 pm, as is the case in other prisons; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brittan

At Holloway barristers and solicitors are able to see their clients between 9.00 am and 11.30 am and also between 1.30 pm and 4.45 pm. Visits cannot take place after 4.45 pm on a regular basis because of the limited availability of staff.
