§ MR. LUTTRELL (Devon, Tavistock)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether certain Chief Warders in charge of prisons have been asked to perform the additional duties of clerks in charge of accounts; and, if so, how it is proposed to dispose of the services of the clerks 1490 who will become redundant upon the transfer of their duties?
§ SIR C. RUSSELLThis has only been done in the case of one prison at Brecon, where there has never been a clerk, so that no clerks will become redundant in consequence.
