HC Deb 08 June 1972 vol 838 c138W
63. Mr. Wadding ton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of the content of a magazine recently written and produced by inmates at the Feltham Borstal Institution, he will forbid the production of similar publications.

Mr. Carlisle

This magazine was produced illicitly. The circumstances are being investigated by the governor, who will take appropriate action.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make a statement on the lack of discipline at Feltham Borstal Institution and the difficulties and problems confronting the staff; and what action he proposes to take to tighten discipline and security at this institution.

Mr. Carlisle

The population of Feltham consists of difficult young men many of whom are disturbed and in need of psychiatric treatment; I am satisfied that the governor and staff are taking appropriate measures for their management and control.
