HC Deb 08 March 1988 vol 129 cc110-1W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review current prison rules and regulations to allow conjugal visits; what information he has on the practice in this respect in prisons in other countries; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

No. We do not have comprehensive information about the position abroad, but officials keep in touch with developments in other countries with respect to many aspects of prison administration, including visiting arrangements.
