§ 21. Mr J. HARRISasked the Home Secretary whether the practice is being adopted of transferring prisoners from Colonial prisons to prisons in this country; and how many such prisoners are at present serving their sentences in prisons in the British Islands?
Mr. HENDERSONPrisoners are sometimes brought to England from some part of His Majesty's Dominions overseas in order to serve their sentences here under the Colonial Prisoners Removal Act, 1884. At present there are one such prisoner from India and four sent here from Crown Colonies.
§ Mr. HARRISOn whom falls the charge for bringing prisoners from Dependencies—not Dominions—to this country, to serve their sentences here; is it this country or the Dependency concerned?
