§ Mr. McGOVERNasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether any prisoners were punished for alleged offences in the recent trouble at Barlinnie Prison who were not tried before a judicial court; the names of each person punished; whether the prisoners sentenced have been removed to other prisons; and, if so, to what prison?
§ Sir G. COLLINSSeventeen prisoners who were not tried in the sheriff court were awarded punishment by forfeiture of marks by the statutory visiting committee of Barlinnie Prison for participating in the recent disturbances at that prison. In the interests of these prisoners, I do not think it desirable to publish their names. One of them has been removed to Edinburgh Prison.
