HC Deb 25 April 1967 vol 745 cc272-3W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the total number of days of solitary confinement, of loss of remission, of bread and water and of loss of privileges, respectively, which have been imposed in the last two years upon the prisoner whose name has been sent to him by the hon. Member for Hampstead.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

This prisoner has been found guilty of offences against prison discipline on fourteen separate occasions in the last two years. As a consequence he has forfeited the total of 346 days remission to which he might have been entitled, and has been awarded 68 days' cellular confinement, 52 days' restricted diet and 299 days' of loss of some or all privileges.

Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the highest total number of days of solitary confinement, of loss of remission and of loss of privileges, respectively, which have been awarded against a prisoner in the last five years.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I regret that this information is not available, and could not be obtained without a disproportionate expenditure of time and effort.
