§ Lieut.-Colonel Liptonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what remedial treatment is provided for juvenile delinquents at approved schools where medical tests reveal a mental state conducive to crimes of violence; and what action his Department took, in connection with such evidence, available in the case of Derek William Bentley two years before he was executed on a capital charge.
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeResponsibility rests on the school managers to seek medical advice as necessary, and to secure that suitable medical treatment is provided for children in approved schools, including children judged to be subject or liable to special mental or emotional disturbance. No evidence purporting to show that Derek William Bentley's mental state was conducive to crimes of violence was submitted to the managers of the approved school where he was detained from October, 1948, to July, 1950, or to the Home Office.
