HC Deb 21 December 1961 vol 651 c181W
56. Mrs. Butler

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will recommend a Christmas amnesty for all who are in British prisons on grounds of conscience, including supporters of demonstrations by the Committee of 100 against nuclear war.

Mr. Fletcher-Cooke

No. My right hon. Friend can find no grounds on which he would be justified in taking such action.
