HC Deb 21 March 1918 vol 104 c1211W
Captain CARR-GOMM

asked the Home Secretary how many prisoners are employed in the Government brush-making factory in the Isle of Man; how many of these prisoners have had previous training in the brush-making industry; what is the financial profit, if any, accruing from this undertaking; and how long the industry has existed?

Sir G. CAVE

As this matter is at the present moment the subject of negotiation with the brush manufacturers, I do not think that it would be in the public interest to give these details.
