Clause 4 - Best interests
Mental Capacity Bill
4:45 pm
Ms Claire Curtis-Thomas (Crosby, Labour)
If I understand my hon. Friend correctly, he is arguing that we should not include objective measures in the clause, yet a number of subjective elements are detailed here. If he is arguing that objective elements are included in the principle of best interest and do not need to be specified, why do we need to specify subjective elements—could they also be subsumed into ''best interests''?
