Clause 4 - Best interests
Mental Capacity Bill
2:30 pm
Mr David Lammy (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs; Tottenham, Labour)
Before we adjourned, I was concluding my remarks on these amendments. It is important that the Government target resources at the most vulnerable people in the most serious situations, which is what we aim to do through the establishment of an independent consultee. I hope that my assurances persuade the hon. Members for Sutton and Cheam (Mr. Burstow) and for Tiverton and Honiton (Mrs. Browning) not to press their amendments.
