§ MR. H. L. W. LAWSON (Gloucester, Cirencester)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it is intended to fill the vacancy in the Prison Department staff appointments caused by the superannuation of Mr. Morgan: and whether, on this or future occasions, the senior storekeeper in the prisons will be promoted in accordance with Sir E. Du Cane's explanation of the procedure to the Royal Commissioners inquiring into Civil Service Establishments?
§ MR. ASQUITHI understand that no promotion is to lie made from the prison staff in consequence of Mr. Morgan's retirement. Any future promotion will lie filled as heretofore, by selection from the staff of prison storekeepers and clerks.
