Mr. E. HARVEYasked what arrangements have been made to inform the relatives of the men concerned when conscientious objectors to military service are transferred to civil prisons by the military authorities; and whether at the same time information as to the regulations for correspondence is given in these cases?
Mr. SAMUELWhen a person sentenced to imprisonment by court-martial is received in a civil prison he is, if necessary, allowed to send a note telling his friends of his arrival in the prison, of the state of his health, and of the date when he will be allowed to write a letter. The form on which this note is written contains in print full information as to the regulations with regard to correspondence.
