§ 89. Major Legge-Bourkeasked the Minister of Health how many orders have been applied for under the National Assistance Act to commit a person to an institution; and whether his Department will issue an annual return of the numbers so committed.
§ Mr. BevanI cannot give the number at present but I do not think the applications are likely to be numerous. I intend to call for annual returns from the authorities concerned and to publish the figures.
