§ MR. E. H. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade, with what Governments he has communicated respecting the importation of prison-made goods; which of these Governments have replied; and, what is the cause of the delay in laying Papers upon the Table?
§ MR. RITCHIECommunications have been made to the Governments of Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States. Replies have now been received from all except Germany, but in the case of the United States it has been found necessary to make further inquiry in order to complete the information. The correspondence will be dealt with as soon as all the replies are received.
