HC Deb 08 June 1972 vol 838 cc138-9W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prisons have been the scenes of non-violent protest at conditions similar to those occurring at Strange ways and Brixton this year; and whether he will set up a Home Office inquiry into the causes.

Mr. Carlisle

Since the beginning of this year there have been non-violent demonstrations at 15 prisons. Each occasion is carefully investigated.
