§ Mr. Stonehouseasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when, and in what circumstances, a quantity of cash was stolen from the warders men's safe at Brixton Prison; and what disciplinary action he has taken.
§ Dr. SummerskillCash and cheques worth about £2,000 were reported missing on 21st August 1975 from the safe of the Brixton Prison Officers Club, which is situated outside the prison. Since a criminal offence appeared to have been committed, the matter was one for the police rather than for disciplinary action, and the police were asked to investigate. They have so far been unable to identify the person or persons responsible.
