HC Deb 07 December 1920 vol 135 c1935W
Mr. FOREMAN

asked the Minister of Health the number of discharged ex-service men now in the lunatic asylums of the country and the number in Poor Law institutions suffering from temporary loss of memory; and whether he can reconsider the suggestion of using some private institution in some part of the country specially for the care and treatment of these men, and thus relieve them from the stigma of the Poor Law?

Dr. ADDISON

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for East Islington (Mr. Paper) last Wednesday, of which I am sending him a copy.
