HC Deb 13 April 1932 vol 264 c830W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the conditions revealed in the Report of the Prisons Inquiry Commission of Ceylon, 1931, he will arrange for a further thorough investigation into the administration of prisons in Ceylon by a commission with terms of reference wider than those which limited the inquiry of Mr. Justice Garvin?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I would refer the right hon. Member to my reply to his question to-day regarding Mr. Justice Garvin's recommendations in the Report of the Prison Inquiry Commission. Whether any further investigation into the administration of prisons in Ceylon should be undertaken is a question for the Executive Committee for Home Affairs, and I do not doubt that they will give the matter all proper consideration.
