HC Deb 24 January 1957 vol 563 cc73-4W
83. Dr. D. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give the full list of the previous convictions of Thomas Antonio Pirelli Ross, sentenced to seven years' imprisonment at Winchester Assizes for the manslaughter of Waclaw Kiergar, a Polish patient at Park Prewett Mental Hospital, Basingstoke.

Mr. R. A. Butler

No. The information in my possession about any previous convictions which a prisoner may have is confidential and it would be contrary to long-standing practice to disclose it.
