HC Deb 03 April 2000 vol 347 c370W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what his policy is on who should adjudicate on breaches of prison rules by inmates held in a segregation unit in a prison in England and Wales; and if he will make a statement. [116828]

Mr. Boateng

The Prison Rules and Young Offender Institution Rules give authority to conduct adjudications to the governor of the establishment, or the controller in the case of contracted out prisons. Any governor, or controller who conducts an adjudication must have been specifically trained for the purpose.
