HC Deb 30 July 1971 vol 822 c181W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on his Department's current review of arrangements for people who are bona fide students at the time of their convictions so as to ensure that, wherever appropriate, they can continue their studies during their sentences.

Mr. Carlisle

The review has been completed. Further guidance has been given to those concerned in the prison service; it is intended to ensure that the needs of students are established quickly and met so far as is reasonable and practicable.
