HC Deb 28 June 1916 vol 83 c868W
Mr. KING

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether inmates of prison who are in bad health, or who fear that they may not live to complete their terms of sentence, are allowed to make their wills; whether they are allowed legal assistance to do so; if they are allowed such assistance, whether they may see their own solicitors; and, if not, whether a prison solicitor is available?

Mr. SAMUEL

Prisoners can make their wills in prison in case of necessity, and, if necessary, the prisoner's solicitor can assist.
