§ Mr. Stonehouseasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the Alsatian guard dogs at Brixton are encouraged by the jailers handling them at Brixton to defecate all over the prisoners' exercise yards.
§ Dr. SummerskillThey are not. Special sanitary areas are set aside for the use of dogs and dog handlers encourage their use to avoid unnecessary fouling of prison grounds. At Brixton one of these areas is adjacent to, but does not form part of, one of the exercise yards.
