HC Deb 20 March 1882 vol 267 cc1283-4
MR. REDMOND

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is a fact that the following "Executive Order" has been posted in Armagh Gaol:— As to letters from one imprisoned suspect to another they should not be forwarded unless they are confined to personal matters having no connection with politics or administration; and, whether the word "administration" covers all matters relating to prison treatment; and, if so, what are the grounds for such a regulation?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

Sir, those are the terms of the Executive Order which has been issued. The word "administration" does not cover all matters relating to prison treatment.
