Prison Visiting Committees: Motion.

 

I receive regular complaints from prisoners in my constituency work. I communicate these complaints to the governor of the prison. I ask the Minister to tell the House the number of complaints he has received in the past five or ten years. If the answer is one complaint that is a shocking indictment and it undermines the very function of the visiting committees as set out in the 1925 legislation. It is time for change. I ask that the Minister consider this motion.
