Colonel THORNEasked the Secretary for Scotland why the concessions of pay, etc., granted to the prison services of England and Wales to take effect from 18th September last have not been extended to the Scottish prison service; and whether he will take steps to have these concessions so extended and receive the deputation of prison officers at an early date?
§ Mr. MUNROMy hon. Friend is under a misapprehension. The concessions referred to have been extended to the Scottish prison service. A notice indicating their effect appeared in the Press last Monday.
