HC Deb 20 February 1863 vol 169 c572
MR. DENMAN

said, he rose to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether any instructions have recently been issued with reference to the revocation of Tickets of Leave for infringement of the conditions endorsed thereon?

SIR GEORGE GREY

said, he had a few nights ago stated, in reply to a similar question asked by another hon. Member, that the only instructions which had been given with reference to this subject were that certain officers of the metropolitan police should see the convicts before they left Milbank, with a view to facilitate their identification. Those instructions were part of a general arrangement which had been contemplated by the Government, but which had been suspended during the sitting of the Royal Commission on the subject, in order that the recommendations of that Commission might first be known.
