§ Mr. LANSBURYasked the Home Secretary whether, having regard to the fact that Minnie French, aged 23 years, now serving a term of three years' penal servitude, is likely to need special mental or other treatment in an institution at the end of her term of imprisonment, he will order an immediate inquiry into her 306W present mental condition by an independent expert in order that he may be in a position to decide whether it is advisable to order her immediate release so that she may at once obtain the treatment it is admitted she may need later on?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI have full confidence in the medical officer at. Liverpool, who has considerable experience in such cases, and would not be assisted by the opinion of a medical man called in from outside who could not have as good a knowledge of this individual case.
