HC Deb 16 October 1991 vol 196 c165W
Mr. Maclennan

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has to extend training provision for prison visitors; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Rumbold

The prison service does not provide formal training for prison visitors. The National Association of Prison Visitors issues guidance and advice on the role of prison visitors, which is supplemented, as necessary, by governors and their staff.
