Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 January 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].
Mental Health Bill [HL]
I was seeking to suggest that there may be a gap. If there is an exclusion such as the one suggested by the noble Baroness, a situation may occur in which there was no alternative other than the person being dealt with through a custodial sentence. That is why it would be much better not to have an exclusion and to allow more flexibility in the way that such an issue could be dealt with.
