HC Deb 12 October 1944 vol 403 c1934
60. Mr. Astor

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the Prison Commission last published an Annual Report; and whether, in view of the changes made in prison administration during the war, he will consider publishing a Report at an early date.

Mr. H. Morrison

The last Report for the year 1938 was published in December, 1939. The need for economising in manpower and paper is still urgent, but I can assure my hon. Friend that a report will be published as soon as is practicable.

Mr. Astor

Will a report be published this year?

Mr. Morrison

I cannot say.
