33. Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prisons he has visited in the course of the present year and in 1960; on how many of these visits he was entertained to luncheon or other meals in the prisons; and if he is satisfied that the food served to him on these occasions was identical with that served to the prisoners.

The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. R. A. Butler)

Since being at the Home Office I have visited a great variety of penal establishments and whenever possible it is my practice to see and sample the meals served to inmates.
