HC Deb 09 July 1913 vol 55 c416
50. Mr. O'GRADY

asked the Prime Minister whether, having regard to the fact that the Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill-health) Act has failed in its object of making women serve their sentences, he intends introducing legislation for that purpose?

Mr. McKENNA

The answer is in the negative. I cannot agree with my hon. Friend that the Act has failed in its purpose.
