Written answers

I am informed that the independent review to which the Deputy refers relates to the operation of the Voluntary Mess Committees in the Prisons and that terms of reference have been drafted and an independent company is in the process of being appointed to carry out the review.

Once commenced, the review is expected to take between four and six months to complete.
