HC Deb 27 February 1945 vol 408 c1264W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Education if he will inquire into the working of the School Medical Services in the area of the Newport County Council and into their failure to detect the prolonged under-feeding suffered by the boy Dennis O'Neill, during the year of his detention at Barn Farm, as evidenced by the findings of the post-mortem examination.

Mr. Butler

As was stated by my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary on 16th February the question of an inquiry into this case will be considered when the criminal charges against the foster parents have been disposed of.
