HC Deb 31 March 1983 vol 40 cc265-6W
23. Mr. Joseph Dean

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has given any consideration as to what form of compensation he is prepared to make available to owner-occupiers and private sector housing tenants whose houses will be affected because of the proposed extension to Armley prison.

Mr. Mellor

As the hon. Members knows, some houses adjacent to the proposed new wall are being purchased, but after further consideration it remains our view that the position of occupiers of other houses in the area will not be adversely affected by the development of the prison. The question of compensation does not therefore arise.—[Vol. 36, c.415.]
