Proceeding contribution from Ann Coffey (Labour) 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]

Does not the hon. Lady agree that it would be better if the same terminology was used throughout the Bill? She has gone to a lot of trouble to try to explain slight differences between what phrases might mean. However, confusion would be created by accepting a new clause that used an entirely different phrase. That would be important, given that the Bill will be interpreted by the courts.
