HC Deb 20 March 1911 vol 23 c40
Mr. SNOWDEN

asked if Alfred J. Abbey and Hugh A. Franklin, prisoners in Pentonville Prison, are being forcibly fed, or if either of them is being so fed, and if either of them is being confined in irons?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Both prisoners are being artificially fed. It has not been necessary to use force, and neither prisoner has at any time been confined in irons. They are both reported to be in good health.
