§ Mr. AMMONasked the Home Secretary with reference to the case at the Central Criminal Court in which a victim of encephalitis lethargica was sent to prison with hard labour, whether the condemned person was under 16 years of age; and, if so, will he consider remitting the sentence and commit him to the institution at Winchmore Hill, under the control of the Ministry of Health, for the treatment of such cases?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThis prisoner is 21 years of age, and the second part of the question, therefore, does not arise.
