§ 100 and 101. Mr. V. Yatesasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will make a statement upon the recent disturbance at Dartmoor Prison; and what action he will take to prevent a recurrence; and
(2) if he is satisfied with the standard of food at Dartmoor Prison; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerI made a full statement about this matter on 12th December in my reply to the hon. Member for Belfast, North (Mr. Hyde). Since then the prison has been following normal routine and there have been no further incidents. I would only add that I am satisfied that the quality of the food was and is satisfactory and was not related to the real cause of the demonstration.
