HC Deb 22 February 1932 vol 262 c41W
Mr. MORGAN JONES

asked the Home Secretary how many hack-saw blades are supplied to the stores and workshops for daily use in His Majesty's prisons?

Sir H. SAMUEL

The number of hacksaw blades and of other tools issued for use in the shops necessarily varies from day to day according to the requirements of the work. Records are kept at each establishment of all tools which are in store, and all tools which are issued for use are checked daily; but I could not give any figures without obtaining returns from every one of the prisons.
