HC Deb 16 March 1983 vol 39 cc170-1W
Mr. Cook

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what arrangements have recently been made for reception into prison of women from Greenham Common charged with breach of the peace.

Mr. Mellor

Females given custodial sentences or committed to prison by courts in the south east part of England are normally received into Holloway prison for allocation either to another prison department establishment or to another part of Holloway. The women from Greenham Common who were recently committed to prison for breach of the peace were received into Holloway in this way.
