§ 30. Viscount WOLMERasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that there are 10 gentlemen who are Commissioners on the Board of Control and only two ladies, one of whom is an honorary member; and whether he will take steps to secure that there are sufficient lady Commissioners on the Board of Control to ensure that all female lunatics can be inspected by women instead of by men?
§ Mr. PARKER (for Sir A. Mond)The facts are as stated in the question except that there are at present only nine men Commissioners. My right hon. Friend does not think it would be desirable to vary the number of Commissioners in the manner suggested.
§ Viscount WOLMERWill the hon. Gentleman say why he has not been invited to any of the wedding festivities to-day?
§ Mr. PARKERI have been invited.
