HC Deb 20 February 1863 vol 169 c575
SIR JOHN WALSH

said, he wished to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he can inform the House when the Commission on Transportation and Secondary Punishments is likely to make its Report?

SIR GEORGE GREY

said, it was impossible for him to give any information as to the time when the Commission on Transportation and Secondary Punishments was likely to make its Report. The Commission was prosecuting its inquiry with due diligence, and he had no reason to suppose there would be any delay in presenting the Report, nor did he think the inquiry would be very protracted.
