	Cat and Mouse Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "Cat and Mouse Act" (officially, the Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill Health) Act 1913) was passed in Britain by Herbert Henry Asquith's Liberal government in 1913.
		This act was seen to be a means of suppressing the power of the organisation by demoralising the activists, as women in this movement would perform acts of protest such as the breaking of windows, arson, and the "technical assault" (without causing harm) of police officers, who were summarily jailed.
		The so-called "Cat and Mouse Act" was passed to release prisoners who were suffering illness for them to recuperate; however the police were free to re-imprison offenders again once they were better.

		Thus in October 1905 she initiated what is usually regarded as the first act of “militancy” when, at a Liberal Party meeting, she and Annie Kenney repeatedly asked, “Will a Liberal Government, if returned, give votes to women?”—to which they received no reply.
		Acts of civil disobedience, such as marches to parliament and spectacular demonstrations, complete with banners, brass bands, and pageantry, were also common.
		But despite repeated promises to grant facilities for a women's enfranchisement bill, successive governments, and especially those Liberal governments led by Herbert Henry Asquith, notorious for his anti-suffrage stance, refused to yield and adopted tougher police responses with more arrests and longer prison sentences.
