HC Deb 04 February 1993 vol 218 cc285-6W
Mr. John Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department in whi ch prisons male prisoners have to share razors.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

Prisoners are not expected to share razors. The recommended scale allows for three razors per prisoner every two weeks. Where this is insufficient, supplies of additional razors can be obtained from a direct call-off contract available to prisons.
