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 would prefer to write to the noble Baroness on some of the points that she raises. As a general point, we consider that there is a need to ensure that the position of people with learning disabilities is covered and that there are specific circumstances in which it is appropriate that they are referred to in the Bill. I hope that she will allow me to write to her with further detail on that.
