§ Mr. ALDENasked the Home Secretary whether he has any objection to the warders of His Majesty's prisons service forming a federation on lines similar to that of the Postmen's Federation?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Churchill)Yes, Sir. There are obvious and grave objections on grounds of public policy to such a practice. Prison warders are a disciplined force like the Police and the Army; and they are allowed other and more suitable means of bringing any grievances they may have to the notice of the Prison Commission and the Home Secretary.
