From 1 April 1993 the Prison Service will become an Agency responsible for the day-to-day running of prisons. The Home Secretary will retain responsibility for major policy decisions. A Supervisory Board is being created to advise the Home Secretary on strategic, policy and resources matters. This follows a report on the Prison Service by Sir Raymond Lygo.

Home Office, press release, 11.3.92.
