HC Deb 23 May 1957 vol 570 cc95-6W
Mr. Dodds

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many cases, since 1st January. 1950, orders made under Section 8 of the Mental Deficiency Act, 1913, have been set aside on appeal, up to the latest convenient date.

Mr. R. A. Butler:

I regret that these figures are not available, but from inquiries that I have had made it appears that appeals against orders made under under Section 8 of the Mental Deficiency Act, 1913, are rare."
