HC Deb 22 October 1969 vol 788 cc255-6W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publicly give special recognition to all the Metropolitan Police who were connected with bringing the Kray twins to trial and sentence.

Mr. Callaghan

There is already wide public recognition, with which I gladly associate myself, of the work done in this notable police operation. The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis informs me that he had commended in the orders of the force a number of the officers principally concerned.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will now cause an official investigation to be made into all aspects of the way in which prison rules and regulations were consistently and persistently broken by the Kray twins.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

I have no evidence that the rules and regulations have been consistently and persistently broken by these prisoners.
