HC Deb 07 April 1960 vol 621 c68W
Mr. Skeffington

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how the costs are borne when a person convicted by a colonial court serves his sentence in a jail in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Iain Macleod

In the great majority of cases the costs are borne on the Prison Commission Vote. In a few instances, where the prisoners are indigenous to the territory from which they were removed, the costs are being borne by the territory concerned.
