§ 38. Mr. KINGasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will state the precise conditions on which Captain Bowen-Coulthurst has been allowed to leave Broadmoor; and how many prisoners have been allowed to leave Broadmoor on the same conditions during the last four years?
§ Sir G. CAVEThe conditions of Captain Bowen-Coulthurst's discharge from Broadmoor Asylum were: (1) That the 233 discharge was revocable at the pleasure of the Secretary of State; (2) that the patient should proceed to the house of a doctor whose name and address were specified, and should there remain under his care and supervision until he had the permission of the Secretary of State to leave; and (3) that he should return to Broadmoor or to other custody if required to do so by warrant of the Secretary of State. The number of patients conditionally released from Broadmoor in the last four years is ninety-nine. The conditions in most cases are substantially the same as in Captain Bowen-Coulthurst's case, except that the place of residence and the person who is to exercise supervision necessarily vary.
§ Sir G. CAVEIt is not in Ireland.
