Prisons: Woodhill

My Lords, the noble Lord makes a very good point in his second question. Of course, nothing is laid down in statute or any other guidance, so far as we are aware, but I suspect that like most things in your Lordships’ House, you know it if you see it. I do not think that I can say any more than that. On his first point, that, too, is my understanding. The Wilson doctrine seems to have served this country and the Houses of Parliament well during the more than 40 years it has now been in operation.
