Proceeding contribution from Lord Boswell of Aynho (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [Lords].

Mental Health Bill [Lords]

The hon. Gentleman is making a powerful case. Does he agree—I think that this is helpful to his argument—that the concept of purpose in relation to medical procedures was imported at a late stage into the Mental Capacity Bill in the context of making it clear that euthanasia was not acceptable, and that that was done for precisely the reason that he is adducing—as part of the scope of the doctor’s considerations in making the intervention?
