| Facts of the case |
The applicant alleges (1) that his letters of 25 October and 1 November 1969 to his Member of Parliament and of 4 November 1969 to the Chief Constable were stopped by the prison authorities and (2) of the refusal of permission to consult his solicitor.

| Analysis |
The first part of the applicant’s claim as to Article 8 ECHR is rejected as he has not exhausted all domestic remedies. The second part of his claim, the Commission stresses, is closely connected to his claim as to Article 6 ECHR, which it declared admissible. That is why this part was declared admissible as well.
