HC Deb 18 February 1960 vol 617 c155W
Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Minister of Health which sections of the Mental Health Act, 1959, are now in operation; and when he expects the remaining sections to come into operation.

Mr. Walker-Smith

Sections 1 and 149 are in operation to the extent necessary to permit informal admission to mental hospitals. On the second part of the Question I cannot yet add to my reply of 1st February to the hon. Member for Erith and Crayford.
