Clause 33 - Additional safeguards
Mental Capacity Bill
10:15 am
Mr Tim Boswell (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; Daventry, Conservative)
If someone had appointed a person as his attorney, but at a time when he had capacity and that appointment was included in a deed that specified conditions for research, it would be an advance statement of his intentions. It would be unethical or improper for the attorney to go against those wishes, so the attorney could not make a decision to involve the person in a research project anyway.
