during the month of May last he received a complaint froma university graduate of serious damage done to a patientby an asylum doctor sending reports of suspected fraudulencyto the Board of Control ; and whether, in the interests of all,he could see his way clear to have an immediate and thoroughinvestigation.-Sir A. MOND replied : The answer to thefirst part of the question is in the affirmative. The case hasalready been fully investigated and I see no occasion forfurther inquiry.

Treatment of Criminal Lunatics.Mr. HOLMES asked the Secretary of State for the Home

Department what course was pursued in the case of a manwho, having been found guilty of murder, sentenced to death,reprieved on the ground of insanity, and ordered to be detainedas a criminal lunatic, was subsequently certified to haverecovered his sanity.-Mr. SHORTT replied : The CriminalLunatics Act of 1884 provides that where a man is certifiedsane in the circumstances mentioned, the Home Secretary,if satisfied that it is proper to do so, may direct that he beremitted to prison to be dealt with according to law.

Female Service in Mortuaries.Mr. MYERS asked the Secretary of State for the Home

Department what was the general practice in the case ofwomen being found dead and the body conveyed to themortuary ; whether the body was examined and otherwiseattended to by men only, even in cases where female attend-ance was available ; and, if so, would he take such steps aswould ensure female services being utilised wherever possible.- Mr. SHORTT replied : This is not a matter in which I havejurisdiction, but I understand that the general practice is forall bodies to be searched by the male mortuary keeper.

Importation of Scientific Chemicals.Dr. MURRAY asked the President of the Board of Trade

whether, in view of the statement by the Dean of the Facultyof Science in University College, London, that certainchemicals were unobtainable in this country, and had to beimported from Germany and duty paid on them, he wouldconsider the expediency of seeking powers to exempt suchchemicals from the operation of the Safeguarding of IndustriesAct.-Mr. BALDWIN replied : My attention has not previouslybeen called to the particular statement mentioned, but I amaware that certain chemicals are not at present manufac-tured in this country-a fact which was, of course, one of themain reasons for the enactment of the Safeguarding ofIndustries Act. I would remind the hon. Member that theparticular aspect of the matter to which he draws attentionwas fully discussed during the passage of the Act, and thatan amendment giving the powers which he now suggestsdid not meet with the approval of the House.

Light M ctal Limbs.Major COHEN asked the Minister of Pensions how many of

the new light metal limbs adopted by the Ministry as aresult of the Williamson Committee’s Report had beenissued ; and how many had been recommended or appliedfor.—Major TRYON (Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministryof Pensions) replied : The number of light metal limbsissued since the date of the Williamson Committee’s Reportis 1072. In addition 272 have been recommended or applied for, and are at present under construction.

Registration of Dental Apprentices.Mr. MYERS asked the Minister of Health if he was aware

that a number of young men who had completed an appren-ticeship in dentistry were unable to become registered asqualified dentists ; and what steps could be taken, if any,to ensure qualified apprentices entering the profession forwhich, at considerable trouble and expense, they had beenspecially trained.-Sir A. MOND replied : In the case ofpersons apprenticed as dental mechanics there is nothing inthe Dentists Act to prevent them continuing to be employedas mechanics, but in future they will not be allowed to prac-tise dentistry unless they are eligible for and succeed inpassing the prescribed examination. If the hon. Memberrefers to pupils of unqualified practitioners there is noprovision for their registration unless they have been engagedin practice before the passing of the Act.

TUESDAY, JUNE 20TH.Indian Medical Service Pensions.

Mr. HOGGE asked the Under Secretary of State forIndia why the concession of proportionate pensions was notgiven to officers of the Indian Medical Service in permanentcivil employment ; and why such officers did not receive thesame privileges and concessions as had been, or might be,accorded to other civil officers as a result of the detriment to

their prospects and the altered conditions of service resultingfrom the reform scheme.-Earl WINTERTON replied :Officers of the Indian Medical Service in permanent civilemployment are permitted to retire on proportionate pensionsif they are unable to be re-employed in military duties towhich under the terms of their appointment they are alwaysliable to recall. I am in correspondence with the Govern-ment of India in regard to the applicability of these con-ditions to officers who, by reason of the length and natureof their civil employment, have had a reasonable expectationof continuance therein up to the time of their normalretirement.
