HC Deb 15 February 1979 vol 962 c588W
Mr.Gould

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will ensure that reference publications such as "Civil Liberty"—National Council for Civil Liberties, and "The Parole Decision —a guide compiled from official sources" —Howard League, are available in all prison libraries, including wing libraries where prisoners do not have access to a central library.

Dr.Summerskill

Stocking of the reference and lending sections of prison libraries is the responsibility of local authority library departments in conjunction with prison education officers. If copies of these publications are not available in a prison library, they can be obtained on request.
