The Parliamentary Secretary of the Lord Chancellor's Department has asked me to reply to your Question as to whether a copy of the transcript of the second Whitemoor escape trial will be placed in the House of Commons Library.The trial judge gave two rulings: one on discharging the jury, and a second on the contempt of court proceedings. A transcript has been made of these rulings and I will ensure that a copy is placed in the Library.
