HC Deb 08 June 1915 vol 72 c189W
Mr. KING

asked the Home Secretary what is is the practice with respect to the supply of Bibles to persons in England or Wales undergoing penal servitude or imprisonment, or detained as habitual criminals or in Borstal institutions?

Sir JOHN SIMON

The prison rules provide that every prisoner or inmate shall be furnished with a Bible and prayer book, approved for the denomination to which he belongs, and this rule is carefully observed.
