HC Deb 12 June 1811 vol 20 c590
Mr. Rose

moved, that there be laid before this House an Account of the number of French Prisoners of War in England, distinguishing the prisons in which they were confined in the month of April 1810, and according to the latest returns; distinguishing those in health from the sick and convalescents.

Mr. Whitbread

suggested, that some measures should be taken to improve the prisons, especially by paving the yards; He did not mean to insinuate that government had been guilty of any neglect with regard to the accommodation of the prisoners; to whom, on the contrary, he believed the utmost attention was paid.

Mr. Yorke

bore testimony to the good treatment of the prisoners.—The motion, was then agreed to.
