HC Deb 21 May 1914 vol 62 cc2130-1
41. Mr. WEDGWOOD

asked the Home Secretary whether it is his intention to provide police protection for the deputation of women which is to wait upon the King on Thursday next?

Mr. McKENNA

The King is not receiving any deputation of women to-day. If any body of men or women should improperly attempt to approach His Majesty, the police will enforce the law, and maintain order.

Mr. KING

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that Mrs. Pankhurst is heading this deputation? If she is able to do that, is she not equally able to undergo her sentence?

Mr. McKENNA

I am unable to answer the first part of the question, and therefore the second part does not arise.
