Proceeding contribution from Lord Carlile of Berriew (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 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 do not begin to understand the point the Minister is making. If what he is saying is right, why have the Children Act? Why have services for any group? Why have a Mental Health Act, for that matter? Is he really saying that because one cannot be completely even-handed with all interest groups, one should simply write them all off?
