HC Deb 10 May 1971 vol 817 c34W
Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the progress made to date in implementing the Mountbatten Report on the Prison Service.

Mr. Carlisle

Forty of the 52 recommendations made by Lord Mountbatten have been implemented in whole or in part; two have led to changes in practice, though not precisely on the lines proposed; and 10 (nine of which related to the proposal to establish a special maximum security prison) were not accepted.
