Letter to Mr. Martin Redmond from Derek Lewis, dated 25 October 1993:
KEY TARGETS FOR THE PRISON SERVICE
The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Question about key objectives for prison establishments in 1993–94, and 1992–93.The Prison Service's key targets for 1993–94 are set out in its Business Plan, a copy of which is in the House of Commons Library. The Service's objectives, targets and performance indicators for 1992–93 were set out in its Statement of Objectives and Resources, which is also in the Library. Local targets and objectives are agreed by prison governors and Area Managers in the annual establishment "contracts". These are internal management documents which it is not our practice to publish; and to extract from each the individual objectives and targets could only be done at disproportionate cost.
