Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Children and Young Persons Bill [HL].


Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

As a Grand Committee, we owe our apologies to the staff here as we have overrun very considerably. I am sure everyone will wish to join me in that. I thank the Minister for his response. Maybe there was a hint of something that will improve what all of us who are involved with the system know is a disastrous situation with regard to mental health. Whatever appears to be there does not seem to be happening on the ground. I thank all Members for their powerful contributions on these important issues, and I thank my noble friend Lord Judd for his generous comments. On the basis that we may well want to come back on this issue on Report in view of the strength of feeling, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
