HC Deb 08 March 1983 vol 38 cc336-7W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what arrangements have now been made to instal a shower in the Home Office prisoner cells section at Highbury court, London N.1, in light of the letter of 2 February from the hon. Member for Islington, South and Finsbury to the Minister of State.

Installation of permanent showers could not be undertaken while cells are in use and portable showers, which present design and other difficulties, are unlikely to be satisfactory. My noble Friend will be replying to the other points raised in the hon. Members letter shortly.
