HC Deb 18 November 1981 vol 13 c147W
Mr. Race

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to provide that Members of Parliament shall be given access to constituents held in custody under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.

Mr. Mayhew

Access to a person detained under the Act is governed by the same provisions as for any other person detained by the police. Special provision for hon. Members would not be justified.
