HC Deb 23 May 1906 vol 157 c1302
MR. BOTTOMLEY

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the small proportion of inmates in His Majesty's prisons returned as of no religious opinion; and whether, in view of this revelation, he will favourably consider Amendments to the Education Bill making all State education of a secular character.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I do not consider that the statements made by inmates of prisons as to their religious opinion furnish any test of the feeling of the country.
