Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that some of us noted with pleasure his Answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Wigan (Mr. Fitch) on the advisory committees, and does he not think that it would help in this question of employment if there was trade union representation on these advisory committees? Is he also aware that some of us who have seen these figures nevertheless believe that they are not really in keeping with the figures that are necessary for expenditure to keep a prisoner in health and welfare and to help to restore his dignity? I am grateful to hear that the right hon. Gentleman intends to try to extend this issue of further employment, and I thank him for his Answer.
