§ Mr. Hancockasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is satisfied with the adequacy of the vegan diets being received by inmates of East Sutton Park open prison.
§ Mr. MellorSentenced prisoners may be allowed a vegan diet at the governor's discretion. On 14 January 1986 a vegan diet was being taken by two prisoners at East Sutton Park and a vegetarian diet by a further four prisoners, all at their own request. I understand that none of the prisoners concerned has complained about her food and that on the basis of his regular inspections the medical officer is satisfied with the nutritional quality of the diets.
