HC Deb 11 February 1954 vol 523 c153W
90. Mr. Parkin

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consult with the Minister of Labour on the problem of finding employment for the older ex-prisoner discharged after a single conviction.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

I am not at present aware of any special problem in the finding of employment for this class of ex-prisoner, but if the hon. Member will send me any evidence which he may have about it generally, or details of individual cases which he has in mind, I shall be glad to consider with my right hon. and learned Friend whether any adjustment in the existing arrangements might help.
