§ MR. E. H. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S. W.)I beg to ask the Secretary if State for the Home Department whether—inasmuch as the classes at Chelmsford and Hull for the instruction of warders prepare them only for service in local prisons, and not for special duties required in connection with the discipline and the open air labour of the convict establishments—the Commissioners will also institute a class for the instruction of officers in convict prisons?
§ SIR MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEYThe hon. Member is under a misapprehension; the course of instruction is devised to meet the requirements of both the local and the convict services, as he will see if he will refer to Appendix 15 of the last Report of the Prison Department.
