HC Deb 28 April 1980 vol 983 c358W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list all those prisons at which the minimum use of force tactical intervention squad has been used in 1980, giving the reasons and circumstances in each case.

Mr. Brittan

At Hull prison on 10 March an inmate barricaded himself in his cell and destroyed furniture and fittings. One hour after a MUFTI team of six prison officers was deployed outside the cell on 12 March the inmate voluntarily removed the barricade and emerged without contact with the officers. Neither the inmate nor any officer was injured.
