Perhaps I will have to rethink my position in relation to the inspector. The Minister has already taken the steps to implement some of the suggested reforms by appointing people from the county in which prisons are situated or from adjacent counties. That is a welcome development. I ask him to continue making such reforms and to publish the prisons service Bill that he states is necessary. It is inefficient and ineffective to have people criss-crossing the country. I am glad the Minister accepts that and is prepared to make the necessary change.
