HC Deb 08 May 1924 vol 173 c644W
Sir R. NEWMAN

asked the Home Secretary whether he will state, with regard to the girls now serving a Borstal sentence in Holloway prison, what privileges are given them which are denied to ordinary prisoners; and what privileges, if any, which the ordinary prisoners enjoy are denied to them?

Mr. HENDERSON

There is no privilege enjoyed by the ordinary prisoners which is denied to these girls. Their additional privileges include special physical training and educational classes and slightly different cell furniture.
