HC Deb 10 November 1949 vol 469 c1386
38. Mr. Piratin

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the condition of Mr. Cyril Schwartz who was sentenced to two months' imprisonment for charges in connection with the march held in Hackney in September; if he is aware that Mr. Schwartz was suffering with ulcerative colitis; what treatment he is receiving and at which hospital; and if his period in hospital will be deducted from the period of the sentence to be served.

Mr. Ede

Mr. Schwartz is receiving appropriate treatment in Lambeth Hospital for ulcerative colitis and I am informed that he is making good progress. His period in hospital counts as part of his sentence.
