§ Lord AVEBURYasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will publish a list of the boards of visitors at prisons in England and Wales, giving the names of the prison or prisons concerned and the names and addresses of the members; and
Whether they will publish a list of the local parole review committees, giving in each case the names of the prison or prisons concerned and the names and addresses of the members.
§ The PARLIAMENTARY UNDERSECRETARY of STATE, HOME OFFICE (Lord Belstead)We are not persuaded that it would be right without their consent to publish the names and addresses of the 1,500 or so members of boards of visitors, and the 1,200 or so members of local review committees, who give their services in this way. A list of Prison Department establishments and their addresses is given at Appendix 3 of the Report on the Work of the Prison Department 1979 (Cmnd. 9765). Any communications should be addressed to the chairman of the board of visitors or of the local review committee at the establishment concerned.
