Proceeding contribution from Lord Rix (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
I wish to clarify a point. The letter to which the noble Lord, Lord Skelmersdale, referred, was also sent to me as president of Mencap, which shows yet again the problems that arise in the differentiation between mental health and learning disability. The person who wrote that letter was not clear on that particular point. I took a more practical position with regard to the letter. I referred her to Mind, which should be able to do battle on her part.
