HC Deb 26 November 1990 vol 181 cc290-1W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the number of creche or child facilities at prisons in England and Wales which can be used by people visiting inmates; if he will list the prisons; and how such facilities are funded.

Mrs. Rumbold

According to the latest available information, 66 prison service establishments have a play area for use by the children of people visiting inmates, either in the visits room or in the visitors' reception centre. These establishments are listed in the table. In some cases a supervised creche is provided. Play areas and creches are usually financed by the establishment's own general purpose fund, with support in some cases from voluntary organisations. We particularly welcome the contribution made by the Butler Trust to the setting up and running of creche facilities.
