HC Deb 18 June 1996 vol 279 cc375-6W
Ms Lynne

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he received the board of visitors' first annual report for Buckley Hall prison; and on what date it will be published. [30683]

Miss Widdecombe

The board of visitors' first annual report for Buckley Hall covering 1995 was received by my right hon. and learned Friend on 26 March.

Boards of visitors' annual reports are not published documents. They are made to the Secretary of State who permits the board, if it wishes, to publish its report. In this case, the board decided at its meeting on 4 June to publish its annual report. A copy of the report can be made available to the hon. Member on written request to the vice-chairman of the board of visitors, Mr. J. H. Clements.
