§ Mr. McENTEEasked the Minister of Health why obstructions are being placed in the way of the carrying out of Section 79 of the Lunacy Act, 1890, in the matter of the release of Miss J. B., an inmate since October, 1923, of Cave Hill Mental Hospital (the personal appearance of the applicant being unduly insisted on by the central office); and, in view of the fact that a gentleman, Mr. O., acting as her friend, has given in writing every reasonable guarantee that he is in a position fully to carry out the responsibility which he is ready to assume in making application under the said Section, will he see that no further obstacle is raised?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYThe necessary inquiries are being made, and I will inform the hon. Member of the result as soon as possible.
