HC Deb 11 June 1990 vol 174 c17W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the prisons in England and Wales where slopping out still takes place.

Mr. Mellor

The majority of prison places have access to night sanitation and we are looking at ways of providing access for three quarters of all places within the next few years. A list of the prisons in England and Wales at which some or all of the places did not have access to night sanitation as at April 1990 has been placed in the Library.
