HC Deb 27 January 1955 vol 536 c47W
75. Sir L. Plummer

asked the Secre tary of State for the Home Department how many of the doctors who examined Mrs. Christofi were psychiatrists; and what was the extent of their examination.

Major Lloyd-George

Of the three doctors appointed to conduct a medical inquiry into Mrs. Christofi's mental condition, one holds a Diploma in Psychological Medicine, and the other two—a former Medical Superintendent of Broadmoor Institution and a former Director of Prison Medical Services—have long and special experience of cases of this kind. The doctors had two prolonged interviews with the prisoner. They also interviewed the governor of the prison, the Church of England chaplain, the prison medical officers, the Greek Orthodox priest who ministered to Mrs. Christofi, and the prison officers who had charge of her.
