HC Deb 09 July 1928 vol 219 cc1834-5
22. Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

asked the Minister of Health how many meetings have taken place of the committee appointed by him last March to inquire into the management, administration, and staffing of the London Lock Hospital, with special reference to the arrangements for the medical treatment of patients, and for their moral, social, and material welfare; and whether he can indicate when the Report is likely to be forthcoming?

Sir K. WOOD

I understand that the committee have held six meetings and have in addition visited a number of institutions. I am informed that the inquiry is approaching completion but that the committee are not yet able to say when they will conclude their labours.

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

If I put down a question immediately before the rising of Parliament, will the right hon. Gentleman be able to give me a date then?

Sir K. WOOD

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will take that course. I am not able, of course, to give him a definite reply.
