HC Deb 25 February 1920 vol 125 cc1729-30W
Major. LLOYD-GREAME

asked the Home Secretary if his attention has been called to the case of Florence M. Packer, charged with petty larceny on 5th February at Hendon Police Court; whether she was remanded to Holloway Prison, where she was taken by two policemen and the Police Court matron twenty minutes' walk to the railway station, by rail to St. Pancras, by tube to Caledonian Road, and ten minutes' walk from there to the prison; whether she was re moved to the remand hospital, where she gave birth to a baby the same evening; and whether he considers that the treatment she received is proper under the circumstances?

Mr. SHORTT

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Plymouth on the 24th instant.
