HC Deb 04 November 1965 vol 718 cc207-8W
19. Brigadier Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many men or women to date have been given more than one opportunity to go on the hostel scheme.

Miss Bacon

I cannot give a precise number, but a few prisoners have been on the hostel scheme more than once.

Brigadier Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he is satisfied that the hostel scheme is fairly administered; and if he will give an assurance that no prisoner has been able to use exceptional influences to bring about his early release from the hostel scheme.

Miss Bacon

Yes.
