PICKERSGILLI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce into the draft Prison Rules the following rule, which is now in force in the prisons of Scotland: "The chaplain shall call the attention of the governor and medical officer to the case of any prisoner whose mental condition in his opinion requires their notice?"
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENTIt is already the duty, as the hon.
