§ MR. KEIR HARDIE (Merthyr Tydvil)To ask the Secretary of £ State for the Homo Department whether 223 relatives of the women suffragists now in Holloway are being refused permission to see the prisoners; and, if so, whether he will see that this restriction is relaxed.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Gladstone.) These prisoners are necessarily treated under the prison rules. If any exceptional reasons for departing from the rules in individual cases are brought to my notice I stall be ready to consider them.
