Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (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]

In my experience, newspapers apologise only if we force them to do so by means of the law. Having spoken to every psychiatrist I know—and I now seem to know a great number of them—I think they would say it is extremely rare for paedophilia to enter a psychiatrist’s domain, except through forensic psychiatry. It nearly always enters that domain through the criminal law rather than the Mental Health Act.
