HC Deb 24 May 1909 vol 5 cc989-90W
Mr. HUGH LAW

asked 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. GLADSTONE

The 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.
