§ 100. Mr. Shortasked the Minister of Health if he will investigate the case of Elizabeth Yates, Sunderland, who is seriously ill after being hypnotised on the stage of a Sunderland theatre; and, in view of the growing number of such cases, if he will now take urgent steps to protect the public.
§ Miss Hornsby-SmithMy right hon. Friend has made inquiries and is informed that the patient has recovered and is now convalescent. Cases of this kind are, happily, rare, and there is no present intention on the part of the Government to introduce legislation on this subject.
