HL Deb 21 February 2001 vol 622 cc101-2WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Which boards of visitors do not meet the requirement of Section 6(2) of the Prison Act 1952 that each board should have not less than two Justices of the Peace. [HL842]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

Appointments and resignations on boards of visitors are a frequent occurrence and the composition of any board can therefore change daily. However, as at 19 February 2001 the boards listed below did not have at least two Justices of the Peace on their Board and did not therefore meet the requirements of Section 6(2) of the Prison Act 1952.

  • Deerbolt
  • Drake Hall
  • East Sutton Park
  • Haslar
  • Lindholme
  • Maidstone
  • Moorland
  • Onley
  • Portland
  • Rochester
  • Rye Hill
  • Shepton Mallet
  • Standford Hill
