I welcome the Minister's comments on mobile telephones. I raised this matter on Committee Stage after I listened to a radio programme. I thought it was most unusual that a prisoner was able to use his mobile telephone to make a call to that programme. I am pleased steps are being taken to suppress the use of mobile telephones. We agree that prisons should be drug-free. I am glad the Minister is talking about making prisons mobile-free, other than in exceptional circumstances.
