HC Deb 06 March 1924 vol 170 cc1652-3W
Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the grave misgivings aroused by the wrongful detention of Mr. W. S. Harnett in mental asylums for over eight years, he will agree to a thorough inquiry into the whole question of lunacy legislation and administration?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by the Prime Minister on Monday to questions put to him on this subject by the hon. Member for Huntingdon (Mr. Costello), Islington East (Mr. Comyns-Carr), and Barnard Castle (Mr. Turner-Samuels).
