HC Deb 21 January 1980 vol 977 cc14-5W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the director of prison medical services has requested any changes to be made in the proposed short, sharp shock regime; if he has approved of the experiment; and what was the nature and substance of the advice he has given on the subject.

Mr. Whitelaw

The director of prison medical services is taking a full part in the planning of the project and, in particular, for arranging that persons who are physically or mentally unfit for the regime will be excluded from it.
