§ Mr. BOTTOMLEYasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that photographers are in the habit of frequenting the gateway of Dartmoor and other prisons with a view to obtaining photographs of prisoners and selling the same as picture postcards; and whether he will issue the necessary directions to prohibit the practice?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLEverything possible is done to prevent photographs being taken of convicts while on the roadway where the public have right of access, and I believe with success. The particular photograph to which the hon. Member has drawn my attention was taken a good many years ago, as is shown by the fact that one of the warders who appear in it left the prison service in 1902.
