§ DR. KENNY (Dublin, College Green)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he has considered, since last Session, the propriety of taking steps to bring about the appointment of an International Commission, to inquire into the subject of the General Increase of Insanity, with a view to ascertaining how far it may be possible to do anything to prevent the spread of the malady?
§ THE HOME SECRETARY (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fife, E.The Government have obtained through the Foreign Office, during the Recess, a quantity of information on this subject, which there has not been time fully to digest. As at present advised, however, I doubt the necessity or expediency of appointing an International Commission.
