HC Deb 01 March 1976 vol 906 cc460-1W
Mr. Corbett

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department for what reason Mr. Maurice O'Mahoney was released from Brixton Prison, where he was serving a five-year sentence for robbery, attempted robbery and burglary, on 21st May 1975 into temporary police custody; whether Mr. O'Mahoney is being kept at a police station or at a private address; and how long it is expected he will be in temporary police custody.

Dr. Summerskill

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answers I gave to Questions by the hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed (Mr. Beith) on 23rd February—[Vol. 906, c.8–9].—Mr. O'Mahoney is being kept at a police station and will remain there only for so long as the interests of justice and his own safety require.
