Proceeding contribution from Baroness Barker (Liberal Democrat) 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 have said on many occasions that I believe that, if there are no other good reasons for the existence of this House, it is to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. On this occasion, I merely wish to congratulate the noble Baroness, Lady Wilkins, on providing a service to Members of another place who clearly are in that position.
