The government has denied pre-empting the Parliamentary Privileges Committee report when former US President, Donald Trump, was appointed head of the prison service.
A spokesman explained, "Mark Carney was Governor of the Bank of England, so having a foreign senior official is not unprecedented, unlike Mr Trump. Some enquiries suggest that Mr Trump can fit visiting prisons into his future schedule, whether he wants to or not."
