HL Deb 27 January 1982 vol 426 c1051WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether it is their policy not to allow any gay prisoners to serve their sentences at open prisons because they may be at risk there.

Lord Belstead

Homosexual prisoners are not generally transferred to open prisons if they could be the cause of annoyance or danger to others, or if they could be at risk themselves.
