Mr. Miller

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has received a copy of the Annual report for 1997 by the National Advisory Council for the Boards of Visitors of England and Wales. [62676]

Mr. Straw

I was presented with a copy of the National Advisory Council for the Boards of Visitors of England and Wales' Annual Report for 1997, by its Chairman Mrs. Ruth Draycott OBE JP on 18 August 1998.

I have asked my noble Friend the Minister of State, Lord Williams of Mostyn, to consider the report and to respond to the issues raised in it.

A copy of the report has been placed in the Library.
