Mr. Clappison

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prisons(a) he and (b) other Ministers in his Department plan to visit between 28 July and 23 October. [131697]

My right hon. Friend the Home Secretary is planning to undertake at least one prison visit in this period and I expect to make at least eight visits, some of which may be unannounced. However, final arrangements have not yet been made and alterations or additions to the programme are possible.
