HC Deb 21 April 1975 vol 890 cc225-6W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why he is not considering the elimination of sex discrimination in prison by amending Prison Rule 26(2) and (3) so that men's hair is not cut without their consent.

Dr. Summerskill

Because the present provision, which takes account of the consideration of safety at work, appears to be operating reasonably.
