§ Lord Aveburyasked Her Majesty's Government:
What is the meaning of the phrase "Rule 43 'subversive' prisoner" in Home Office Circular Instruction 10/1974, and in what respects such prisoners are treated differently from any others segregated for reasons of good order and discipline.
§ Lord BelsteadThe phrase is an alternative expression used to denote prisoners segregated under Prison Rule 43 for the maintenance of good order and discipline, as distinct from those segregated in their own interests. It does not imply any separate category or different treatment.
