HC Deb 01 February 1951 vol 483 c138W
97. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the cost of making a film of Wakefield model prison; and why it was withdrawn before being shown.

Mr. Ede

I assume that the hon. Member is referring to the film "Four Men in Prison," part of which was made in Wakefield Prison. The full cost of the film was £20,100. It has not been withdrawn; it was produced to be shown to magistrates and other people concerned with the administration of justice, and it will be used for this purpose.
