HC Deb 24 March 1977 vol 928 c598W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why John Poulson has had to serve his sentence in Wakefield Goal and why Andrew Cunningham and T. Dan Smith were allowed to serve almost the whole of their sentences in open prisons.

Mr. John

Mr. Poulson was transferred to Ashwell open prison in November 1976. Prior to that date he remained at Wakefield Prison because of medical considerations. The cases of Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Smith were not affected in this way.
