Proceeding contribution from Lord Williamson of Horton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 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 thank the Minister for that reply. We are always very grateful to hear that the Minister will give consideration between now and the later stages of a Bill. There will probably be quite a lot of time for that. We look forward to it; the longer it takes, the more likely we are to get what we want, I hope. I was very glad to hear that; the issue is sufficiently important to be thoroughly looked at. It has been on the table in earlier discussions, though not for this particular Bill. It is well known among those concerned with mental health that it is an important point in practice. However, in view of the assurance given by the Minister, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 39 to 41 not moved.] Clause 25 [Community treatment orders, etc]: [Amendment No. 42 not moved.] On Question, Whether Clause 25 shall stand part of the Bill?
