HC Deb 01 December 1927 vol 211 c684
19. Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

asked the Home Secretary when the last meeting of the council of the International Prison Commission took place and when the next meeting is due; and whether there is any public record of its principal decisions at its last meeting?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The last meeting of the Commission was in June, 1926, and it was decided then that the next meeting should take place in two years' time unless the bureau should find it desirable to summon an earlier meeting. I am sending the hon. Member a copy of the report of the proceedings at the last meeting.

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

Do I understand that the report is confidential?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

No.
