HC Deb 30 August 1895 vol 36 c1365

On the Resolution, That a sum, not exceeding £69,883, be granted to Her Majesty, to complete the sum necessary to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March 1896, for the Expenses of the General Prisons Board in Ireland, and of the Prisons under their control, and of the Registration of Habitual Criminals,

Dr. TANNER

wished to put one or two practical points. One was, that prisons should be provided with a covered exercise ground. He thought the shelter ought to be extended. He was talking only of the gaols where he had been the guest of the right hon. Gentleman the First Lord of the Treasury. Dr. Farrell was one of the late members of the Prisons Board in Ireland, and was now connected with the asylum, and he hoped the right hon. Gentleman would communicate with him on the subject.

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I shall be very happy to call the attention of the Prisons Board to the hon. Member's point.

Resolution agreed to.

On the Resolution, That a sum, not exceeding £3,795, be granted to Her Majesty, to complete the sum necessary to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1896, for the maintenance of Criminal Lunatics in the Dundrum Criminal Lunatic Asylum, Ireland,

DR. TANNER

called attention to the want of extra attendance in the asylum and the bad condition of the buildings.

Resolution agreed to.
