STERILISING THE UNFIT
MINISTER PROMISES INQUIRY LONDON, March 26. The Minister of Health received a deputation from the County Councils’ Association, the Association of Municipal Corporations, and tho Mental Hospitals’ Association on the subject of the sterilisation of mental deficients. The deputation, which was introduced by Alderman Lovsey, represented to the Minister that, while the associations for whom they spoke had reached no final conclusion upon the desirability of sterilising mental deficients, they considered the time had come for a full inquiry into the question in view of its national importance. Sir Edward Hilton Young replied that he agreed that there was a need for inquiry into the problem. He proposed, as a first step, to arrange for an inquiry to be made by competent persons into the scientific aspects of the question.
