§ 43. Mr. F. Noel-Bakerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why he has refused permission to Mr. Anthony Frisch, of Brampton, Ontario, to collect and publish verse and prose written by persons serving sentences in Her Majesty's prisons, in view of the fact that such permission has been granted to Mr. Frisch by the authorities in Canada, Australia, South Africa, the United States of America and the Republic of Ireland; and whether he will now reconsider this matter.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerIt is not the practice in this country to allow prisoners to send out matter written for publication during their sentences, and I see no reason for making an exception in favour of the work projected by Mr. Frisch. I am still considering an alternative suggestion he has made about prison magazines.
