Clause 24 - Advance decisions to refuse treatment: general
Mental Capacity Bill
9:45 am
Mr Tim Boswell (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; Daventry, Conservative)
I do not disagree with the hon. Gentleman's argument, which is consistent with mine, but does he not agree that safeguards regarding a life-or-death decision should be at least
as rigorous as those applying to will procedure, which might only deal with the disposition of small amounts of property? Although they should be as rigorous, they will not be unless the safeguard is included in the Bill.
