HC Deb 05 December 1912 vol 44 c2489
68. Mr. TOUCHE

asked whether Miss Ethel Slade, now undergoing a term of imprisonment in Holloway Gaol, has engaged in a hunger strike; has she been, and is she now being, forcibly fed; has she suffered in health since her imprisonment commenced; and what is the present state of her health?

Mr. McKENNA

This prisoner refused her food, and had to be fed forcibly for some days. She offered violent resistance, and as there was some risk that she might do herself an injury, which in her anæmie condition would be serious, I have advised her release.
