HC Deb 16 June 1937 vol 325 c378W
Mr. R. Duckworth

asked the Home Secretary what opportunities of smoking will be afforded to those prisoners who, under the new scheme of prison reform, will be able to earn money to buy tobacco?

Sir S. Hoare

At present, arrangements are made for prisoners who earn money and purchase smoking materials to smoke in company with others during periods of recreation, and it is proposed that the extended arrangements shall be on similar lines, though they may require modification in detail to suit local circumstances.
