To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to modify the criteria by which persons are appointed to prison visiting committees; and if he will make a statement. [10857]
My right hon. Friend has no such plans. He does not appoint members to visiting committees for adult prisons: they are appointed in terms of section 8(1) of the Prisons (Scotland) Act 1989 by local authorities prescribed by rules made under the Act.
