HC Deb 11 April 1968 vol 762 c294W
30. Mr. Deedes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take steps to amend the procedure whereby discharged prisoners against whom further police proceedings are taken are re-arrested as they leave prison; and why such proceedings are not taken while prisoners are completing their sentences.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

It is already usual to deal with outstanding charges before a prisoner's release though it is not always practicable to do so.
