HC Deb 02 August 1887 vol 318 cc916-7
SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Dublin Co., S.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, What is the amount of lodging allowance given to married men employed in Broadmoor Convict Asylum; and, whether it is given to all married men?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)

Provision is made in the Estimates for allowance in lieu of quarters for 24 members of the Broadmoor Asylum staff at the rate of 3s. per week. This allowance is granted only to those married members of the staff who are entitled to quarters, and for whom there are no quarters available on the asylum estate. The hon. Baronet will find full details at page 225 of the Estimates, 1887–8.
