asked the Home Secretary if he is aware of the inadequate gas lighting and of the deterioration of the gas piping at His Majesty's prison, Manchester; if he has received the Report of the visiting committee on these defects; and if he will consider the desirability of installing proper electric lighting equipment at this prison?

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 30th January to the hon. Members for Blackley (Mr. P. Oliver) and Hulme (Mr. McElwee).
