Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (Crossbench) 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, before the noble Baroness, Lady Neuberger, decides whether to withdraw the amendment, on the general point here, I wonder whether the noble Baroness or her colleague the Minister can give the House any good news about how consolidation of the original Act and this Bill is to be dealt with. I ask that because it is going to be very difficult for practitioners to juggle two pieces of legislation and a code of practice.
