HC Deb 23 April 1963 vol 676 cc15-6W
Mr. Lubbock

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will now instruct the governor of Wandsworth Prison to forward a letter from a prisoner to the hon. Member for Orpington.

Mr. Brooke

As I have explained to the hon. Member, the letter, which was to have been an invitation to speak to a discussion group, never got beyond the draft stage, and the draft no longer exists.

Mr. Lubbock

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will instruct the governor of Wandsworth Prison to rescind the transfer of an officer, whose name has been given to him, until a full explanation for the necessity for this transfer has been given to the hon. Member for Orpington and the latter has had an opportunity of making such representations to the Secretary of State as he considers necessary following his receipt of the letter promised by the Secretary of State.

Mr. Brooke

The hon. Member will by now have received a letter from me explaining that his question is based on a misunderstanding of the facts.
