Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 27 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].


Mental Health Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am happy to reassure the noble Baroness. One of the great advantages of pilots is that we can learn all the lessons necessary. I would want to look carefully at the circumstances in which those opinions were sought. If the noble Baroness is right, and these are particularly well trained advocates, we need to ensure that everybody else involved is equally well trained.
