HL Deb 14 September 2001 vol 627 c5WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Rooker on 11 July (WA 76), what are the operational reasons for continuing not to provide sanitation in a proportion of cells in segregation units and health care centres. [HL695]

Lord Rooker

Cells without integral sanitation in segregation units and health care centres are used to hold prisoners while their behaviour is disturbed, violent or destructive and where they are assessed as presenting a serious risk of harm to themselves or others.
