§ CAPTAIN NAYLOR-LEYLAND (Colchester)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department can he explain why it is that Mr. Frederick Finch, who was nominated as a schoolmaster in Her Majesty's Prisons four years ago, and then received a notification from the Home Office, saying that they were reducing the Prisons Staff, but he would hear further from them, has from that day received no communication of any kind from the Home Office?
§ MR. ASQUITHI am informed that Mr. Finch was not nominated, and that nothing is known in the Prison Department of his having been told that he would hear from it. There is no prospect of any vacancy.
