§ 42. Mr. Dribergasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will, as a regular policy, ensure that every committee or working party studying penal practice, prison conditions, or aftercare, shall include at least one rank-and-file prison officer, at least one probation officer, and at least one prisoner or rehabilitated ex-prisoner.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsIt is always my aim to ensure that any committee or working party that I appoint is appropriately constituted for its assignment; but whether the membership should include persons in particular categories must depend on the nature of the assignment.
