Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].
Mental Health Bill [HL]
My Lords, we are obviously at a very late stage of the Bill’s passage. I thank the Minister for that offer, which I am sure noble Lords on this side of the House would wish to accept. The key point, however, is the one that we debated long and hard; that of therapeutic benefit. Treatment must contain some measure of therapeutic benefit if it is to count as medical treatment. Simple detention in a confined space would not amount to medical treatment. That is the concern that we hope the Government will meet.
