§ Major MOULTONasked the Minister of Health whether he is now prepared to form the proposed Committee to inquire into the lunacy laws; and whether, pending its Report, he will take steps to provide for more frequent inquiries into the mental state of patients detained in asylums by persons extraneous to such asylums?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYI hope that a Royal Commission will be appointed within the next few weeks. Pending their Report, I will continue to keep a careful watch on the administration of the Lunacy Acts.
