Dr. Summerskill

I regret that information in this detail is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how long each of the two women in cellular confinement on 26th February 1976 had been so confined; who ordered their confinement; for what reasons; and for how long.

Dr. Summerskill

In each case for one day, as part of a Governor's award of three days' cellular confinement for an offence against good order and discipline.
