Description


In April 1913, the 'Cat and Mouse Act' was introduced. It allowed the release of seriously ill prisoners as a result of hunger-striking and their re-arrest once they had recovered. The implementation of the Act led to further militant action.

The report appeared in 'The Suffragette', 2 May 1913.
