HC Deb 20 November 1986 vol 105 c299W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will explain why the Brixton prison authorities do not issue pullovers or jumpers to prisoners until October; whether he will review this matter and ensure that such warm clothing is supplied upon request; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellor

There is no restriction on what time of year pullovers and jumpers may be issued at Brixton prison.
