§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will order an urgent inquiry into the circumstances in which a prisoner was hanged in his cell by fellow prisoners at Risley Remand Centre.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesNo. The circumstances surrounding the murder of this young man have already been thoroughly investigated by the police, and fully ventilated in court. When this death was first reported I also ordered an immediate examination of the relevant procedures at Risley Remand Centre. I am arranging for a transcript of the proceedings to be studied in case this should reveal any points requiring further examination.
