Prison Visiting Committees: Motion.

 

An excessive amount of legislation passes through this House while the people are crying out for action from the Minister and the Government. I trust action will be taken. I do not want to return to points made by previous speakers with regard to justification as they were well made. This is a constructive motion. I hope some of the points made within it will be reflected in the Minister's future thinking. He has already started in that direction with his earlier comment that he is considering the appointment of prison visiting committees to which he is appointing people from adjoining geographical areas, which is a constructive move.
