§ Mr. Hoyleasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will prevent prison officers wearing whilst on duty National Front badges or tie pins proving they belong to that organisation; and if he has any evidence of prisoners being discriminated against by these officers.
§ Mr. JohnI have no evidence that prison officers are wearing National924W Front badges or tie pins on duty; if any officers were to do so they would be required to remove them. Nor have I any evidence of discrimination against prisoners. However, if any hon. Member has any such evidence, I shall be glad to examine it.
