§ Mr. Beithasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many patients in National Health Service mental hospitals have been subject to treatment or taken part in experiments in which they have been shown pornographic materials loaned for the purpose by the Director of Public Prosecutions during the last year; and whether any of these patients had no record of sexual offences.
§ Sir George YoungNo patients have so far been shown the material loaned during the last year by the Director of Public Prosecutions. I have no record of patients who may during the last year, as part of their treatment or assessment by professional staff in the NHS, have been shown pornographic material loaned by the Director of Public Prosecutions earlier.
