§ Mr. HUGH LAWasked the Home Secretary if he will give a list of men and women who, within the past 15 years, have been placed in the first division, together with the offence for which conviction took place in each case?
§ Mr. GLADSTONEThe compilation of a list of names would he a very laborious task, such as I should not feel justified in imposing upon the prison staff, unless with some definite object of public importance in view. A summary list is, however, given in the Annual Report of the Commissioners of Prisons (Appendices 1.6a and 16b), which will, I think, serve the hon. Member's purpose.
