§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what contingency plans are made for staff procedure when a weapon is found in prison.
§ Mrs. RumboldThe action to be taken by staff will necessarily depend upon the circumstances of the particular case, including the nature of the weapon. Governors have been issued with specific instructions about contingency planning for an incident involving a firearm. For reasons of security which the hon. Member will understand, it would be inappropriate to publicise the details.
