Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Alloway (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 6 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].
Mental Health Bill [HL]
My Lords, my name has been mentioned, so I asked my noble friend Lord Howe whether I should seek the leave of the House to say a few words about this amendment. First, it gives no assurance of any form of legal efficacy; secondly, the code would not be enforceable by judicial review and, in the light of certain decisions on education law to which I shall not refer, the clause about resources could be used as an escape clause. Thank you for the permission to speak.
