asked whether Phyllis Brady, a suffragette, was sentenced at Croydon on 12th April last as a person loitering for the purpose of committing a felony; if she hunger struck and has continued to do so since convicted; whether she is now in bad health; and will she be released under the Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill-Health) Act?

Phyllis Brady was sentenced as stated; she refused her food while in prison both during remand and after conviction. I ordered her temporary discharge under the Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill-Health) Act, and she was released accordingly on the 28th April.

May I ask if it is a fact that the prisoner named in the question has been identified since her conviction in connection with another case of arson?

I am afraid I cannot answer a question of that kind without notice.
