HC Deb 12 April 1984 vol 58 c315W
43. Mr. Thurnham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has any plans for privatisation in the prison service.

Mr. Hurd

Domestic catering and night security services at two staff training establishments are contracted out, as is much of the work in prison building and design.

We are also contracting out the work of the vehicle repair depot at Swindon.
