§ Mr. Radfordasked the Home Secretary whether he will accede to the request of the Prison Officers' Association that an impartial or judicial inquiry should be set up to consider the case of Officer Bourne, who was recently dismissed by the Prison Commissioners on the grounds that he had shown inexcusable violence to a prisoner who had attacked him with an iron bar?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonI would refer my hon. Friend to the full statement, which I made in answer to a Question by the hon. Member for Carmarthen (Mr. Hughes) on the 2nd October, of the circumstances in which the officer referred to was dismissed. I cannot find any grounds for any further inquiry.
