§ 67. Mr. SNOWDENasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department if Ferdinand Kehrhahn, a British subject, is interned in Reading Gaol; and if he will say what are the regulations governing the treatment of this person in the matter of being allowed to receive food from outside, to write or receive replies to letters, or to receive visitors?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Brace)The regulations applying to persons interned at the place of internment, Reading, do not permit of food being sent in from outside, but there is a canteen at which food may be purchased. The regulations allow two letters in and two letters out a month, and one visit a month, but Kehrhahn, having abused the privileges he previously enjoyed at Islington by escaping from internment, is at present not allowed to write or receive letters unless they relate to his forthcoming appeal against the sentence passed on him at Liverpool, last January, or to receive visits except from his legal advisers.
