HL Deb 12 May 1998 vol 589 c115WA
Lord Graham of Edmonton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will publish the guidance which will be given to governors concerning the assessment of the suitability of eligible prisoners for Home Detention Curfew. [HL1877]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Home Office (Lord Williams of Mostyn)

We have today placed in the Library a draft version of the guidance to governors which would be used in assessing prisoners' suitability for Home Detention Curfew. A final version of the guidance will be included in a Prison Service Order which the Prison Service expects to issue to governors in October. Copies of that order will be placed in the Library.
