HC Deb 31 March 1980 vol 982 cc29-30W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make a statement on his plans for a revision of the prison system; and to what extent he estimates such plans will increase or reduce Government expenditure.

Mr. Whitelaw

I intend to announce my decisions on a number of issues arising from the report of the May committee after Easter. Those decisions will be taken in the context of the Government's general policy on public expenditure.
