§ Mr. Kelleyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will investigate the case of Michael Davis, now on hunger strike in Armley Prison, Leeds, with a view to action being taken; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. JohnMr. Davies refused solid food from 12th December 1976 until the morning of 12th January 1977 when he accepted the normal prison diet and indicated his intention of continuing to do so. His refusal of solid food was apparently in protest against the outcome of disciplinary proceedings. Since Mr. Davies began to refuse solid food he has been kept under close medical supervision, but I understand that his health gives no grounds for immediate concern.
