Proceeding contribution from James Duddridge (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]

My hon. Friend has not yet referred to the Disability Rights Commission. Has he met representatives of that organisation? It supports new clause 12 because it says that if the new clause is not accepted, the Bill will be highly discriminatory. If the Minister is unwise and does not accept the new clause, does my hon. Friend feel that that decision will be subject to legal challenge?
