§ Mr. A. HERBERTasked the Secretary of State for War whether those ex-service men who from shell-shock or some other cause, have lost their memory during the War will be provided with suitable accommodation in homes, and not in lunatic asylums?
§ Major TRYONI have been asked to take this question. Special accommodation is provided by my Department for any ex-service man suffering from loss of memory due to his services in the late War; but should the malady unfortunately develop into certifiable insanity the patient can no longer be detained in a Ministry institution but must be transferred, in accordance with the present Lunacy Laws, to the care of the Board of Control.
