§ 40. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Home Secretary how many persons are now undergoing imprisonment in the first division; and for what class of crime or offence is first division treatment reserved?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSNo persons are at present undergoing imprisonment in the first division. It is provided by Statute that persons convicted of sedition or seditious libel and persons committed to prison under the Vaccination Acts are to be treated as offenders of the first division.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYMay I ask why this was not done in the case of the 12 Communists?
