§ MR. M'CARTAN (Down, S.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If the Government intend to carry out a recommendation of the Royal Commission on Prisons, by increasing the salaries of the officers, now that the re-organisation of staffs and the amalgamation of prisons have taken place?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH) (Bristol, W.)Some time ago the Irish Government made recommendations for the increase of the salary of prison officers to the Treasury. Their Lordships required some further information, which has now been supplied to them, and it is hoped that the question will soon be settled.
