HC Deb 04 April 1963 vol 675 c53W
4. Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what restrictions are imposed on prisoners discharged from Her Majesty's prisons on their choice of place of residence inside the United Kingdom.

Mr. Woodhouse

It is not the practice to impose restrictions on the place of residence of a person released on licence under the Prison Act, 1952. He may, however be discouraged from settling in an area where it is known that his prospects of obtaining accommodation and employment are poor.
