HC Deb 19 April 1923 vol 162 cc2251-2
71. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Home Secretary if he is aware that prison labour is being employed in the building of certain warders' houses in Old Oak Lane at a wage of 2s. 6d. per day; and, bearing in mind the large amount of unemployment in the neighbourhood, will he see that this is discontinued?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I have recently had occasion to consider this matter on the representation of my hon. Friends the Members for North and South Hammersmith, with the result that the arrangements referred to in the question have now been discontinued.
