(Received June S, 10.40 a.m.)
LONDON, June 4.
Making his first speech in the House of Commons as Home Secretary in the debate on prisons, Sir Samuel Hoare said that the experiment of appealing to the better instincts of prisoners was succeeding and was now being extended to the. convict prisons at Chelmsford, Parkhurst, and Dartmoor, where the men were being given the opportunity to earn wages to buy cigarettes, and were being allowed other relaxations.
Mr. G. Muff (Labour), emphasising the need for charitableness, said, "We are sinners all. On Coronation Day 62 spoons were pinched from the Housa of Commons, by members of the House, their intimate friends, or relatives."
