§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will cause an investigation to be made to ascertain how and why Independent Television was allowed to make a film at Her Majesty's prison Wormwood Scrubs, shown on Sunday 2 May on the "South Bank Show", in which prisoners serving life sentences for murder were enabled to take part with professional actresses in sexually titillating scenes; and whether he will prevent such actions in the future, especially in the top security wings of prisons.
§ Mr. MayhewNo. We are satisfied that the action taken in granting facilities to the television company was in accordance with our policy on these matters; and that the work of the stage class in D Wing, of which this production formed part, is valuable and should continue.
