HC Deb 14 November 1957 vol 577 c68W
74. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will now review the terms under which advisory boards decide whether to release a prisoner when he has served two thirds of his sentence.

Mr. R. A. Butler

The preventive detention advisory boards are an integral part of the present system of preventive detention and cannot be reviewed in isolation from the rest of the system. I do not think it is practicable to undertake a general review of the system at the present time.
