Proceeding contribution from Ivan Lewis (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [Lords].


Mental Health Bill [Lords]

The only thing I can say about increases and decreases is that, the way things are going at the moment, there is no question but that the hon. Gentleman’s party will see a significant decrease in its representation in the House. I suspect that questions such as that simply reinforce the point. If I cannot be expected to define a specific figure, how can I be expected to say whether it will go up or down? I am afraid that is beyond me, and would be beyond any Member of the House.
