§ Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to two cases tried at Chester on Wednesday, 6th March, in which it appeared that, while the doctors declared offenders to be insane, they would not sign the certificate owing to a recent High Court case, where heavy costs had been awarded against the doctor for the alleged wrongful certifying of a person; and will he, in view of the state of the law on the subject, consider the introduction of legislation which will clarify the position with regard to such certificates issued by medical officers?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given yesterday to a similar question by my hon. Friend the Member for the Royton Division (Dr. Davies).
