§ Mr. KINGalso asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the asylum in Hampshire now in process of building is to be used for certifiable or uncertifiable nerve-shaken soldiers; and whether the building of any other new asylum is in progress or in contemplation in any part of the country?
§ Mr. BRACEThe new Hampshire Asylum is to be used by the military authorities as a hospital for sick and wounded soldiers, and not for cases of mental and nervous affections. No other new asylum is now in actual progress, the building of two new asylums having been suspended, and one or two contemplated schemes are held in abeyance.
