HC Deb 05 March 1987 vol 111 c683W
15. Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to invite environmental health officers to inspect Her Majesty's prison kitchens.

Mr. Mellor

No. The prison service has its own arrangements for the inspection of prison kitchens, which are subject to validation checks by environmental health officers employed by the Department of Health and Social Security. These arrangements do not preclude calling upon local authority environmental health officers for advice if a need is indicated.
