§ 33. Mr. Parkerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why raw eggs are supplied as extras to prisoners at Parkhurst Prison without the provision of the means of cooking them.
§ Miss PikeWhere, as at Parkhurst and most other prisons, it is impracticable to arrange for prisoners to cook for themselves food purchased from the canteen, eggs are not normally placed on sale. Lately, however, it was represented that certain prisoners at Park-hurst, knowing that cooking facilities could not be provided, wished nevertheless to purchase eggs for consumption raw; and this facility was accordingly granted.
§ 41. Miss Baconasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will issue instructions prohibiting the sale of farm produce to prisoners unless they have means to cook it.
§ Miss PikeAt prisons where facilities cannot be provided for cooking food purchased in the canteen, articles of food which require cooking are not placed on sale. The arrangements for farm produce which it is possible to eat uncooked must depend on local circumstances.
