HC Deb 20 March 1919 vol 113 cc2211-2
25. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will order an inquiry into the state of health of E. W. Harby, now in Wandsworth Gaol, with a view to his discharge, in view of his broken appearance when giving evidence before the recent inquiry?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Shortt)

This prisoner is reported to be in good health, and of sound mind. He makes no complaint, states he feels quite well, performs his full task, and has not required medical treatment at any time.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

In view of the fact that this prisoner has made serious complaints against the Governor, and which are at present being investigated, would it not be possible to consider whether he could not be placed under some other supervision than that of the present Governor? [HON. MEMBERS: "No, no!"]
