Mr Mark Field (Cities of London and Westminster, Conservative)
Indeed. As I am sure my hon. Friend was about to continue, the Saunders case is a particularly bad example, because he was found guilty and convicted. The defence of Alzheimer's disease came later, to get him out of prison after his conviction. There was no question of its being used during the trial. As I am sure my hon. Friend will point out, there are other reasons why the Saunders case is not the best example to use.
