HC Deb 23 July 1957 vol 574 c216
57. Mr. Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has now received the views of all the interested organisations in respect of Command Paper No. 9623 relating to mental illness and mental deficiency in Scotland; and whether he has now decided to amend the law.

Mr. J. N. Browne

My right hon. Friend has not yet received the views of all the interested organisations. He has just asked them, however, to let him have their views at an early date not only on this Command Paper but also on the application to Scotland of the Report of the Royal Commission on Mental Health and Mental Deficiency in England and Wales.
