§ The PARLIAMENTARY UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE, HOME OFFICE (Lord Belstead)It is contrary to Home Office policy that transcendental meditation should be used in Prison Department establishments, and staff were accordingly advised that permission would not be given for attendance at the conference in an official capacity since this would be likely to cause the department's policy to be misunderstood.
