HC Deb 25 January 1980 vol 977 cc395-6W
Mr. Colvin

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has reviewed the arrangements under which quarters are provided for prison staff, as recommended by the committee of inquiry into the United Kingdom prison services, Cmnd 7673; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brittan

This is one of a number of recommendations made by the committee which are currently receiving consideration. It raises some wide issues on which discussions with the unions concerned will be necessary before any conclusions can be reached.
