HC Deb 12 December 1972 vol 848 cc120-1W
Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce measures at prisons and detention centres in England and Wales to ensure that Commonwealth immigrants who are detained there and who face no criminal charges shall be accorded special privileges in excess of those prescribed for unconvicted prisoners.

Mr. Carlisle

There are no such Commonwealth immigrants in detention centres. It would not be practicable to introduce additional special privileges in prisons, for the reasons given in reply to the hon. Member's Question on 6th December 1972.—[Vol. 847, c. 441.]
