§ Mr. G. HALLasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department the number of men and women in England and Wales who were permitted to use the prison cells, not as prisoners, but because of destitution for the years 1920, 1921, 1922 and 1923?
Mr. DAVIESThe answer as regards prisons is, none. I understand that shelter is sometimes given to destitute persons at police stations, but no figures are available as to this.
