HC Deb 01 May 1980 vol 983 cc628-9W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has now received the Gibson report on the incident at Wormwood Scrubs; if he intends to publish it; and, if so, when.

Mr. Whitelaw

I received Mr. Gibson's report on Tuesday 22 April. I have decided, on the advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions, that it would not be right at this stage to publish the report in view of the current police inquiries which could lead to criminal proceedings.
