HC Deb 21 July 1965 vol 716 c237W
85. Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of recent escapes, he will now amend the Prison Rules, 1964, especially those relating to removal from association and cellular confinement, respectively.

Sir F. Soskice

It is necessary to retain powers to segregate prisoners temporarily and it seems to me that the 1964 Prison Rules contain adequate safeguards against abuse.
