§ Mr. Whiteheadasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many cases in 1975 prisoners made allegations of misconduct against prison staff; how many of these were upheld, and what action was taken; and of those which were not upheld, how many resulted in disciplinary action against the prisoner for making the allegation.
§ Dr. SummerskillStatistics are not kept centrally of allegations by prisoners against prison staff or of disciplinary charges of making false and malicious allegations against them. I regret that the information could therefore be obtained only a disproportionate cost.
