§ MR. HARRINGTONI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in consequence of the numerous complaints relating to the present system of management in Irish prisons, he will cause the inquiry at present held in England to be extended to Ireland?
MR. J. MORLEYThe Committee of Inquiry referred to in the question of the hon. and learned Gentleman is a purely Departmental Committee appointed by the Home Office to inquire into the administration of English prisons, and it was stated by my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary on May 28 last that the Inquiry would not extend to Ireland.
