§ MR. CLAUDE HAYTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether there is any distinction in the treatment in convict and local prisons between soldiers sentenced to penal servitude for military offences and criminals sentenced by a civil court for the worst offences.
(Answer.) The rules for carrying out sentences of penal servitude do not differentiate between different classes of convicts except in so far as a convict may be placed in the star class.—(Home Office.)
