§ SIR JOHN TUKE (Edinburgh and St. Andrew's Universities)To ask Mr. Attorney-General if his attention has been drawn to the application made in the Report of the Commissioners in Lunacy to the Lord Chancellor for 1904 for an increase to the number of the Commissioners on the ground that such addition is absolutely necessary, and is urgently needed for the efficient and satisfactory administration of the Lunacy Acts; and whether he can inform the House whether any steps are being taken to give effect to this application.
(Answered by Sir Robert Finlay.) Attention has been drawn to the application referred to in the Question, and the subject is now under consideration by the Lord Chancellor and the Treasury.
