§ 15. Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what complaints he has received from Cypriot prisoners at Maidstone regarding delays caused by the censorship of their letters; and what action he proposes to remedy this.
§ Mr. RentonOn 23rd May, the prisoners complained of delays in censorship and they were informed on 5th June that new translation arrangements, designed to expedite censorship, had been made. Some of them nevertheless refused either to send or receive mail, and the rest declined to send it. The majority petitioned again on 12th June and were told that my right hon. Friend was not disposed to review the revised arrangements until experience of them had been gained. On 5th July, the prisoners resumed the receiving and writing of letters.
