Proceeding contribution from Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL].
Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [Lords]
Does the hon. Lady agree that the Bill defines what a vulnerable adult is very broadly? There are 10 descriptions of such a person in clause 44, one of which is someone who"““requires assistance in the conduct of his own affairs””." I frequently require assistance in the conduct of my affairs, but I do not regard myself as vulnerable. Does the hon. Lady not agree that there is a risk here of not seeing the wood for the trees?
