Proceeding contribution from Baroness Barker (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 29 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; that was helpful. We will go away and give due consideration to each other’s views but I believe it is unlikely that we will reach agreement on this matter. The noble Lord referred to giving notice to practitioners; I am seeking to ensure that there is adequate protection for patients and that they understand their rights. We come at this matter from completely different points of view. However, the hour is late and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clauses 40 and 41 agreed to. Schedule 9 agreed to. Clauses 42 and 43 agreed to. Schedule 10 [Repeals and revocations]: [Amendment No. 73 not moved.] Schedule 10 agreed to. Clauses 44 to 47 agreed to. House resumed: Bill reported with amendments.
