HC Deb 15 November 1976 vol 919 cc329-30W
Mr. Prescott

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many of the 211 research projects commenced since 1968 have been published and made available to the general public; and how many of the 28 concerned with long-term prisoners mentioned in his reply to the hon. Member for Kingston upon Hull East on 11th November are publicly available.

Mr. John

Reports are known to have been published, either in whole or in part, of 39 research projects, four of which relate to long-term prisoners. The right to publish the result of about half the projects rests with outside agencies or individuals, and it is not possible without extensive inquiries to determine how many of these have been published.
