§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Home Secretary how many of the convicts at Dartmoor prison during the recent disturbances had served periods of training in Borstal institutions?
§ Sir H. SAMUELI cannot give this information until the work of reconstructing the burnt records is completed, but I may point out that in the last 20 years nearly 10,000 youths have served periods of training in Borstal institutions and if a few of them are now convicts, their number is very small compared with the number of those who have not reverted to crime.
§ Mr. DAVIESasked the Home Secretary how many of the prisoners in Dartmoor prison on the morning of 24th January were implicated in the disturbances on that day; and how many of those prisoners were serving sentences of life imprisonment commuted from death sentences?
§ Sir H. SAMUELAs regards the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to my statement in reply to the hon. Member for Caerphilly (Mr. Morgan Jones). As regards the second508W part of the question, there was only one man serving a commuted death sentence in Dartmoor Prison on 24th January.
