HC Deb 13 May 1986 vol 97 cc421-2W
Mr. John David Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland why workmen are working overtime during weekends at the former Armagh prison; and if he will make a statement.

It is not possible to provide information concerning the number of those who have been, or are being, successfully treated for this disease.

Mr. Scott

[pursuant to his reply, 9 May 1986, c. 249]: As part of the contingency plans for dealing with possible disruption of the prison system as a result of industrial action, work was required at Armagh prison to make it ready to hold prisoners again if necessary. In the very limited time available week-end working was necessary on 26–27 April.
