HC Deb 11 March 1898 vol 54 c1374
MR. PICKERSGILL

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, consequent upon Mr. Merrick's Report issued two years ago, any scheme has been drawn up for the better organisation and supervision of Discharged Prisoners' Aid Societies; and whether effect has been given to the recommendation of the Committee on Prisons, that greater facilities should be afforded to the representatives of such societies for seeing prisoners before discharge?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT

The hon. Member will find the answer to both his Questions in the statement by the Prison upon the Commissioners, which I laid Table of the House last night.
