ALBANY PRISON: SUNFLOWER SEEDS (Hansard, 20 July 1984)

HL Deb 20 July 1984 vol 454 c1808WA 1808WA

§ Lord Avebury
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Why prisoners who are Vegans are no longer permitted to buy sunflower seeds to supplement their diet at Albany prison.

§ Lord Elton
As far as is known, sunflower seeds have never been available for purchase by Vegan or any other inmates at Albany prison. Any future requests from inmates for sunflower seeds to be stocked in the canteen will receive sympathetic consideration.
