HC Deb 08 August 1889 vol 339 c776
MR. PICKERSGILL

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state the names of the prisons in England and Wales to which ladies have been appointed as voluntary visitors; and what is the number of prisons to which such appointments have for the first time been made since September, 1887?

MR. MATTHEWS

There are 26 prisons in all to which ladies have been appointed as visitors. I shall be happy to show the hon. Member the list. Appointments have been made to two of these prisons—Devizes and Durham —since September, 1887.
