§ Sir Charles IrvingTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information he has on sexual and physical abuse of rule 43 offenders and of deliberate contamination of their food.
§ Mr. MellorAllegations of assault on rule 43 prisoners during the recent disturbances at Manchester prison are being investigated. No information is available centrally or at regional level about complaints from other rule 43 prisoners of sexual or physical abuse. In the past year, six rule 43 prisoners at different establishments have submitted petitions alleging contamination of their food by other prisoners. Prison staff are alert to this possibility and take precautions to obviate opportunities for such action.
