§ Mr. KINGasked the Home Secretary whether it is a rule of prisons that prisoners are allowed to have a Bible in their cells; and whether it is by his orders or the order of the Prison Commissioners that conscientious objectors are being deprived of Bibles in their cells?
Mr. SAMUELI have no reason to think that there has been any departure in the prisons under my jurisdiction from the rule as to the supply of Bibles to prisoners. As stated in reply to my hon. Friend on 8th June, 1915, the rule is carefully observed.
