Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (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]

It is not only shoddy and ill-informed. My hon. Friend is right about that, but he expressed himself with the characteristic understatement for which he is renowned in all parts of the House. It is also a piece of scurrilous, vicious journalism—precisely the kind of journalism that has the effect of making life worse for very vulnerable people. The editor of that newspaper ought to be ashamed.
