I have no reason whatever to believe that there was any communication. On my instructions, a number of members of the prison staff who were on duty at Wormwood Scrubs at the time have been questioned and they have all affirmed that to the best of their knowledge and recollection the Governor's instructions, which emanated from me, were carried out.

The hon. Lady referred to someone who was at the time a prisoner at Wormwood Scrubs and who has made statements. He waited nearly three years before making those statements, which seems odd if he really had important knowledge to communicate. As he has been mentioned, I must say that he was a prisoner of a doubtful mental state who had been sent to Wormwood Scrubs for psychiatric investigation.
