HC Deb 23 November 1909 vol 13 c16
Mr. MARTHUR

asked whether the Home Secretary had considered the representations made to him in favour of the release of Mr. George Wise from Walton Gaol, Liverpool; and whether he had arrived at a decision in the matter?

Mr. GLADSTONE

I hope that the Royal Assent will be given to the Police (Liverpool Inquiry) Bill on Friday next, and I shall then be able to announce the Commissioner's name; and, when he has been appointed, I shall be in a position to take such action in Mr. Wise's case as may be deemed necessary or expedient in the interests of the inquiry.
