Irene "Marjorie" Savidge became Irene Gentle (9 June 1905 – 26 March 1985) was a British factory worker and subject of police interrogation who became involved in a scandal. A charge of indecency against her and Sir Leo Chiozza Money was dismissed by magistrates, but she was later detained again and subjected to a five-hour interrogation by male officers. Her complaints led to a public inquiry concerning police procedures and later a royal commission.
