58. Ms. Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about conditions in Holloway prison C.I unit.

Mr. Mellor

My right hon. and learned Friend is well. aware of the concern which has been expressed about conditions in Holloway's C.I. unit. The future role of Holloway is under consideration by the project committee which will be reporting in July to advise on how the prison can best be developed. We expect that report to deal with C.I. unit among other matters and we now await the advice of the project committee.

Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make an official visit to Holloway prison.

Mr. Mellor

My right hon. and learned Friend has no plans to do so at present. My noble Friend, who has responsibility for prisons, visited Holloway on 29 April.
