(2) if he will make a statement on the recent attempted escape from Full Sutton prison by Nicholas Mullen and others and on the circumstances which led to its discovery.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerAs a result of security intelligence, cell searches made at Her Majesty's prison Full Sutton on 24 November led to the discovery of a quantity of escape equipment.
