asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies in how many Colonial Territories the practice of chaining certain prisoners is retained.

Mr. Hopkinson

Fourteen. In accordance with an undertaking given by me to the hon. Member for Central Ayrshire (Mr. Manuel) on 8th December, 1954, a memorandum has been prepared setting out full particulars of the use of mechanical restraints in prisons in Colonial Territories and will be placed in the Library of the House. I will send the hon. Member a copy.
