Prison Visiting Committees: Motion.
10:30 am
John Minihan (Progressive Democrats)
When looking for reform that type of phraseology smacks of speaking from both sides of the mouth. Members of visiting committees are unsalaried and unpaid but they do receive expense. Perhaps we should look at that area. I am sure it will be looked at as part of the review in progress at the moment. People can apply to be appointed to prison visiting committees.
