HC Deb 01 March 1901 vol 90 c189
MR. JOHN CAMPBELL

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that provision is made for the defence of poor prisoners in Germany, France, Denmark, the United States, Scotland, and several of our colonies; also that the Bar council have recommended in favour of making similar provision here, and whether he intends taking any steps in the matter.

*MR. RITCHIE

I do not see my way to take any action in this matter.
