REGULATION 18 B

Six,—All who value justice and humanity must be grateful to you for printing the article entitled " The a B Prisoners " in your last • issue. It is almost incredible that such conditions should exist in England, and one trusts that—once ventilated—they may speedily become non-existent.

There is, as Mr. Justice Humphreys evidently felt, a danger that the matter may be forgotten again, as those responsible would prefer, but surely no M.P. who has read your article will allow this to happen. The Spectator is always fearless, and ready to champion those who cannot speak for themselves. (Mrs.) M. A. BINSTEAD. Crossways, Shurlock Road, nr. Reading.
