HC Deb 21 March 1898 vol 55 c398
MR. E. H. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will lay upon the Table the scheme which has received the sanction of the Secretary of State and the Treasury by which an identical system of skilled instruction of trades has been established for local and convict prisons, and to which reference is made in the statement of the Prison Commissioners just issued?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT

I am afraid I cannot promise to lay upon the Table further information about this scheme than is contained in the Commissioners' statement. The scheme deals with questions of detail, which it would not be desirable to publish.
