HC Deb 20 May 1919 vol 116 c223W
Mr. MOSLEY

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the information given to prisoners, by notices affixed to their cells, of their right of appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeal from sentences passed at assizes and quarter sessions, any information of a similar nature and, if so, what information is given to prisoners sentenced by Courts of summary jurisdiction of their right of appeal in all cases to quarter sessions?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

The right of appeal, which applies to all convictions, is generally well known; and the governors of prisons have instructions to supply full information on the subject to any prisoners who show a desire to appeal from a conviction by a Court of summary jurisdiction.
