Proceeding contribution from Baroness Browning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [Lords].
Mental Health Bill [Lords]
I do not know the exact number, but I raised it only last week with the psychiatrist whom the Minister brought before those of us who chose to attend her meeting. It was a good meeting, but I was interested to know why section 25A orders are not used more frequently—they have been on the statute book for a long time— and the psychiatrist said that it was because the police do not want to co-operate. The situation is extraordinary.
