§ 52. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to complaints by stipendiary magistrates in London that they are no longer permitted to see the doctors' reports on alleged cases of drunkenness; whether he is aware of their contention that this hampers the administration of justice; and what are the reasons for thus making a change in procedure?
Mr. C LYNESI would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Newcastle North (Sir N. Grattan-Doyle) on the 13th instant.
