§ Sir H. CAUTLEYasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the county prison at Lewes ceased to be used as a civil prison about 1915, and since about 1919 has been entirely out of use; and whether he will consider the possibility of using the site and the large quantity of materials contained in the existing buildings for the erection of small dwelling-houses, which are so badly needed in that town?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe facts are as stated in my hon. Friend's question, but although it has not been occupied regularly for some years it is a large and well built prison which might be required for use at any moment.
