§ Miss Devlinasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department for what reasons the Home Office has authorised the continued detention in Wandsworth Prison of James McGarrigle and Brendan Magill, serving three and two year prison sentences, respectively, since neither of these prisoners is designated as category 40W A, neither has any previous convictions, nor are they serving long sentences, in view of the fact that Wandsworth Prison is devoted to long-term security prisoners.
§ Mr. CarlisleThese prisoners were at Wandsworth pending allocation to other prisons; this has now taken place. Wandsworth is a category B prison, and most prisoners there are serving sentences of between 18 months and four years.
