HC Deb 19 January 1981 vol 997 c18W
Mr. Mark Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what evidence, if any, he has received either from those who have made public assertions, or others to substantiate the claims of easily available supplies of tobacco, alcohol or drugs at Frankland gaol near Durham.

Mr. Whitelaw

I have received no such evidence. I am satisfied from inquiries I have made that there has been no slackness or impropriety in the running of Frankland, and I am grateful to the Armed Forces for their consistently high standard of care and supervision of the prisoners there.
