HC Deb 23 December 1964 vol 704 c318W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what arrangements there are to ensure that selected prisoners are photographed from time to time, so that a recognisable photograph is always available in case of emergency.

Sir F. Soskice

Arrangements exist for photographing the majority of prisoners on conviction and immediately before discharge and for taking photographs for medical reasons. These arrangements are being reviewed.
