Mental Health Bill [HL]

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his reply. The issue is important and I am strengthened by the convincing arguments presented by my noble friend Lady Meacher, which I thought were very much to the point. I am grateful for the Minister’s acknowledgement of the importance of the issue and his determination to build on the progress that we have already made. Since he has promised us hard graft, I shall look to him for hard graft in future. On that basis, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 29 [Authority to treat]:
