Member for Hitchin (Mrs. Shirley Williams) on 9th May, I have given instructions for unconvicted prisoners at all remand prisons and centres, including Brixton, to be allowed to have battery radio sets and shavers, and for the number of open visits to be extended as far as is practicable at each establishment.—[Vol. 836, c. 1129–1132.]
