asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the future of religious activities in prisons.

Facilities available for prisoners to practise their religion are kept under review; but my right hon. Friend sees no reason at present for any radical change affecting the future of religious practice in prisons.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he considers the space occupied by the chapel in Holloway Prison and the use made of it to be an efficient way of using accommodation resources in this prison.

Yes. The chapel is used not only for services by all denominations and as a chaplaincy centre, but also for concerts and other performances, and for certain educational purposes.
