HC Deb 14 December 1966 vol 738 cc104-5W
Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on whose authority Robert Maxwell is in solitary confinement, and under what provisions of the Penal Code.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

Maxwell is segregated from other prisoners on my authority under the provisions of Rule 43 of the Prison Rules 1964. He will shortly be allowed to work in association with other prisoners, but will continue to be kept under surveillance.
