Bromby on An Annotated Chronology of Hansard References to "Colonial Prisoners' Removal" in the Westminster Parliament from 1869 Onwards @m_bro

Michael Bromby, Cayman Islands Law School; Glasgow Caledonian University, has published An Annotated Chronology of Hansard References to “Colonial Prisoners Removal” in the Westminster Parliament from 1869 onwards. Here is the abstract.

This paper presents an annotated chronology of all references to "colonial prisoners removal" in the UK Parliament’s Hansard reports. This site does not cover the period 2004-2006, or written answers from April 2010 onwards. Aside from the legislative drafting stages of the 1869 and 1884 Acts, there are very few references to colonial prisoners and their removal under the Acts in either House over a period spanning more than a century. The main focus of debates on the floor of both Houses were in relation to prisoner removals from Bahrain to St Helena in 1956. The Written Answers provide more detail on other removals, most notably some general statistics for the years 1967 and 1987.
