41. Mr. W. T. Williamsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what consultations have taken place between his Department and the appropriate legal and medical authorities regarding the carrying out of experimental surgery by order of the courts or with their consent; and what general guidance he has given in regard to this.
§ Mr. Elystan MorganNone. The courts have no power to give directions or make arrangements for the surgical treatment of offenders, and I am satisfied that they are fully aware of this.
