§ 57. Sir W. Davisonasked the Home Secretary whether prisoners in any of His Majesty's prisons are allowed to write letters to their relatives and friends in any other language than English?
§ Mr. LloydYes, Sir. Special arrangements are occasionally made for the censoring of letters written by prisoners whose ordinary language is not English.
§ Sir W. DavisonIs there any ground for the statement recently made that, at the public expense a special interpreter has been engaged at Wormwood Scrubs Prison in order that the Welsh gentlemen recently convicted of arson can correspond with their families in Welsh?
§ Mr. LloydNo, Sir. I think the prison officer concerned was one in the prison who understood Welsh.
