Durham Prison (Inquiry)

HC Deb 04 April 1963 vol 675 cc56-7W

43. Mr. Grey

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what consultations he had, and with whom, before setting up the inquiry into Durham Prison.

Mr. Brooke

My decision to ask the visiting committee lo undertake this inquiry in accordance with Prison Rule 194 was taken after full consideration but was not the subject of formal consultation outside my Department.
