HC Deb 21 July 1989 vol 157 c394W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has had regarding making the submissions of prisoners' petitions easier.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The House of Commons authorities have been in touch with my Department about improving the guidance given to prisoners for presenting petitions to Parliament, and this is being done.

No representations have been received regarding petitions to the Secretary of State which though generally made on a form provided for the purpose are not req uired to be in any specific format.
