§ 70. Mr. JOHN JONESasked the Secretary for Scotland why prison warders in Scotland are not allowed to voice any collective grievance in the same manner as the prison staffs in England and Wales?
§ Mr. MUNROI am not aware that prison warders in Scotland find obstacles placed in their way in voicing any collective grievances. They have direct access through their own nominees to the Scottish Prison Commissioners, and I recently received a deputation of their representatives myself in Edinburgh—the first occasion, I believe, on which they had been received by a Secretary for Scotland. I have followed up all the points which were then laid before me.
§ Mr. JONESBut do you recognise the men's union? Some hon. Members in front are saying "Hear, hear," but they do not know what they we talking about.
