Clause 3
Mental Health Bill [Lords]
4:45 pm
Chris Bryant (Rhondda, Labour)
I am sorry that I have caught the Minister a sentence after she said the word “alone”. She will note that in the exclusions that the House of Lords has given us, the emphasis is on the word “solely”. For example, there is an exemption for people who might be detained solely on the grounds of substance misuse. There is no such word as “solely” in the Government’s amendment. Would she consider changing that?
