§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now take further psychiatric advice about Pauline Jones, at present in Holloway Prison, in addition to that mentioned in his reply to the letter, dated 19th December, from the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, North-East, urging her discharge from Holloway to the care of the Probation Service.
§ Mr. CarlisleNo. The medical staff at Holloway prison and the consultant psychiatrist from whom my right hon. Friend has received an independent report agree that Miss Jones is not mentally unfit for imprisonment. There have been no developments which suggest the need for any further psychiatric 217W advice. Any psychiatric attention she may require is available in prison.
