Mr. William Ross

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will set out the criteria for payments to the representatives of welfare organisations making visits to prisons in Northern Ireland for meetings with terrorist prisoners. [102308]

There are no such criteria, because no payments are made to representatives of welfare organisations making visits to prisons in Northern Ireland for meetings with prisoners.
