§ 65. Colonel DAYasked the Attorney-General whether his attention has been drawn to the evidence given by a medical practitioner of Sheffield at an inquest recently to the effect that he was convinced that when he was called to see the patient the best thing he could do was to let the man die, as if he had lived his life would only have been a misery; and whether the Public Prosecutor intends to take any action?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Sir Thomas Inskip)I have no knowledge of this matter beyond the reports which have appeared in the Press. From these I observe that the inquest has been adjourned for a post-mortem examination; it would obviously be impossible for me to answer the last part of the question while this is the case.
§ Colonel DAYWill the right hon. Gentleman have this matter watched, and make inquiries as to the statement made?
