Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].


Mental Health Bill [HL]

My Lords, I apologise to the House. I am not used to moving amendments at the start of a group. No wonder the noble Lord, Lord Patel, and I got mixed up last time. It may be helpful if I speak briefly to my amendment. The noble Earl, Lord Howe, and the noble Baroness, Lady Neuberger, may then like to speak to their amendment and I shall respond to that. Amendment No. 68 is a response to some of the concerns raised in Committee. It would enable a person detained at a place of safety under either Sections 135 or 136 of the Act to be moved from one place of safety to another. I beg to move.
