HC Deb 16 February 1911 vol 21 cc1417-8W
Earl WINTERTON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether, as a result of a recent visit by him to Pentonville Prison, a number of sentences have been reduced and prison punishments remitted?

Mr. CHURCHILL

In the course of a visit to Pentonville in the autumn of last year certain cases of youthful offenders came under my notice in respect of which I felt myself justified in recommending some small reductions of sentences.
