HC Deb 14 March 1944 vol 398 cc47-8W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consider the release from internment of a professor, detained under Regulation 18B, details of whose case have been submitted to him, seeing that he is in his seventieth year, is so ill that prison diet and confinement are dangerous, that he has served in His Majesty's Forces in two wars, is practically without means or influence and reconsideration of his case is urgent.

Mr. H. Morrison

Consideration has been given to the state of this person's health throughout the period of his detention and he is and has been receiving all necessary care and attention. I have had special inquiries made about the matters of which my hon. Friend has sent me details, and the medical advice which I have received does not confirm the view expressed in the Question. After careful review of all the circumstances I have not felt justified in authorising this person's release from detention.
