HC Deb 01 June 1896 vol 41 c216
SIR HOWARD VINCENT

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade, if he is aware that the delay in restricting the importation into England of Foreign prison-made goods is leading the German Government to develop still further this traffic, and has also led the Belgian prison authorities to extend their industrial operations from mat-making for the English market to that of brushes also?

MR. RITCHIE

I have no information to the effect mentioned by my hon. Friend, but I am making inquiries on the subject.
