HC Deb 24 July 1912 vol 41 cc1155-6
25. Mr. FRED HALL

asked in how many cases since 1st April the sentences against persons convicted of offences in connection with the movement to secure votes for women in Parliamentary elections have been remitted or reduced?

Mr. McKENNA

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Bow and Bromley on the 9th July. Three prisoners whose convictions are of later date than April have had part of their sentences remitted.

Mr. FRED HALL

Will the same favourable consideration be given to the case of George Gray, who was sentenced to two months' hard labour for assaulting one of His Majesty's Ministers on Joy Day?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise out of the question.
