Proceeding contribution from Baroness Barker (Liberal Democrat) 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]
The Minister said at the beginning of his remarks that if the amendment in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Rix, were passed, there would be a danger that some people with learning disabilities who needed compulsory treatment would not get it. Why should the situation be any different for people who have learning disabilities as opposed to those who do not? Will the Minister also answer the question asked by the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay of Llandaff, about why only part of the Joint Committee’s recommendation finds its way intothe Bill?
