HC Deb 28 June 1948 vol 452 c181W
Mr. Swingler

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will circulate in HANSARD the approved list of monthly and weekly periodicals which inmates of His Majesty's prisons are permitted to read.

Mr. Ede

There is no longer an approved list of periodicals. It is within the discretion of prison governors to permit prisoners to read suitable periodicals which will enable them to keep in touch with current thought and events, either generally or in relation to any special interests.
