§ 25. Sir B. FALLEasked the Secretary to the Admiralty if the recent improvement in the pay, pension, and war bonuses, and conditions of service which have recently been granted to subordinate officers in His Majesty's civil prisons from 1st April last will be extended to the sub ordinate officers of His Majesty's naval prison service, including those doing duty in the naval detention quarters?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAMy hon. and gallant Friend's question apparently relates to certain improvements in respect of the pay, etc., of the staff employed in civil prisons, promulgated by the Prison Commission a month ago. We are considering the conditions of service of subordinate officers of Detention Quarters and the Naval Prison at Bodmin in the light of the Home Office decisions in question. I will communicate with my hon. and gallant Friend as to putting another question later.
