HC Deb 28 March 1957 vol 567 c140W
67. Mr. Snow

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in what circumstances, on discharge, a prisoner is given a railway warrant to his home town or district.

Mr. R. A. Butler

When a prisoner is discharged from prison the cost of his fare home, or to any other destination within the British Isles to which it is desirable he should go in the interests of his resettlement, is met from public funds, though not necessarily by the issue of a railway warrant.
