Dr. Summerskill

asked the Home Secretary whether Joseph Humphries, aged 88, who was sentenced at Enfield to six months imprisonment for certain offences had a medical examination as to his mental stability before the sentence was imposed?

Sir S. Hoare

I have caused inquiry to be made and am informed that the Court had before it information as to Humphries' mental and physical condition.
