HC Deb 01 February 1918 vol 101 cc1942-3W
Mr. KING

asked the Home Secretary whether Charles W. Gooding, a conscientious objector, is confined to Wormwood Scrubs; whether this man has been certified by no less than six doctors, including a heart specialist, to be suffering from valvular disease of the heart, enlarged heart, and other complaints; and whether this man will be given his discharge?

Sir G. CAVE

I am advised that this prisoner's health has considerably improved since his reception in prison, and afford 3 no sufficient justification for discharge?
