HC Deb 15 July 1912 vol 41 cc51-2W
Mr. O'SHEE

asked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that the joint committee of the Waterford District Lunatic Asylum has unanimously adopted a resolution urging that the Mental Deficiency Bill now before Parliament should be extended to Ireland, and that other similar bodies have expressed the same view; and whether he will take steps to make the Bill applicable to Ireland?

Mr. BIRRELL

The answer to both paragraphs of the question is in the affirmative.
