Clause 3
Mental Health Bill [Lords]
4:45 pm

Tim Boswell (Daventry, Conservative)
As the Minister will know, I am a comparative newcomer to some of these areas, but can she consider the case of sex addiction, which I suspect is a term of art rather than necessarily a precise term, and whether someone canbe addicted to committing sexual acts in the sameway as to alcohol or other substances? If so, and if somebody’s dependence is of that nature, what is the criterion for their inclusion when the alcohol or drugs addiction is excluded?
