asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if any prisoners convicted of sex offences are currently serving sentences at High Point prison in Suffolk; whether any of these have been regraded during the past 12 months; and whether he has changed his policy that High Point will be used for category C and D prisoners only.

On 3rd November 1978 four prisoners convicted of sexual offences were serving sentences of imprisonment at High Point. All were allocated to security category C in 1978. There has been no change of current policy as regards the use of this establishment for category C and category D prisoners only.
