§ Mr. LOVAT-FRASERasked the Home Secretary if he is aware that Bedford prison is used as a special prison for young offenders under 21 years of age serving sentences of more than three months; and whether, in view of the undesirability of carrying out executions in a prison where boys are kept, he will take steps to prevent further executions being carried out at Bedford prison?
§ Mr. CLYNESI should be glad if arrangements could be made to avoid executions in this prison, but at present I cannot see any lawful and practicable means of doing so.
