§ Mr. HULBERTasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the recent disturbances at His Majesty's Prison, Parkhurst: and whether he can make any statement?
§ Mr. LLOYDI am glad to have this opportunity of contradicting the stories which appeared in. a newspaper last Sunday that there had recently been disturbances at Parkhurst Prison, and that special precautions had been taken, including arrangements for military assistance, in anticipation of further unrest. Apart from the fact that one 1345W prisoner recently climbed on the roof on two occasions, there is no foundation whatever for these stories.
