MR. CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N.W.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to do anything to remedy the insanitary state of the cells at many London and Provincial police stations?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)

Yes, Sir; it is the intention of the Government to do everything in their power to remedy the insanitary state of the cells in London and the Provinces. Active communication is now proceeding with the various Local Authorities; and there is every prospect that it will be found possible to carry out the recommendations of the Committee.
