HC Deb 22 January 1981 vol 997 cc239-40W
Mr. Bradford

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many of the seven Maze prisoners who recently ended their hunger strike were tried in a non-jury type court.

Mr. Alison

I shall reply to the hon. Gentleman as soon as possible.

Mr. Bradford

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether the wardrobe of each prisoner at the Maze prison will contain two issues of clothing to be worn at the prisoner's discretion.

Mr. Alison

All sentenced male prisoners in Northern Ireland who conform with prison discipline may have two sets of clothing: a limited set of their own for wear during association periods in the evenings and at weekends, and for visits, and a set of prison-issue, civilian-type clothing for wear during the working day.

Mr. Bradford

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) how many of all prisoners in the Maze prison convicted for terrorist offences were tried by non-jury type courts;

(2) how many prisoners in the "dirty protest" at the Maze prison were tried by non-jury type courts in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Alison

I shall reply to the hon. Gentleman as soon as possible.
