HC Deb 30 July 1963 vol 682 c63W
Mr. Delargy

asked 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. Brooke

Police 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.
