§ Mr. Delargyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he has taken, or intends to take, regarding the handcuffing of persons who are brought to court and of persons who are escorted to airports, seaports or railway stations when being deported from this country.
§ Mr. BrookePolice or prison officers in charge of persons being brought to court or being deported have a personal responsibility to see that they do not escape from custody, and handcuffs are used in appropriate cases. I am not aware of a need for a change in the existing practice.
