§ MR. MORLEYasked the Secretary of State for the Home Deartment, If, before he brings up the Report of the Prisons Bill, he will state the terms in which he proposes to refer to prison labour?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, what he had stated in Committee on the Prisons Bill was, that he was disposed to preface the clause on this subject by a Preamble, stating that the intention of the Legislature was that prison labour should not press heavily upon any trade or industry if it could be avoided. That Preamble would appear on the Paper among the Notices of Amendments to be proposed on the Report.
