asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the report on the inquiry into the prison service, currently being undertaken, will contain any recommendations on the treatment of young offenders.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

The committee of inquiry into the United Kingdom prison service has not completed its work. It is an independent committee, and I am not in a position to say what recommendations it will in due course make.

Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, on what date he intends to publish the report on the inquiry into the prison service currently being undertaken.

Mr. Jim Spicer

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to receive the report of the Home Office inquiry set up to look into the conditions of service in Her Majesty's prisons.
