Clause 4
Mental Health Bill [Lords]
9:45 am
Charles Walker (Broxbourne, Conservative)

“The real problem arises from the Government’s wish to use mental health legislation to detain people on the basis of a prediction that they may commit an offence in the future but where they have not previously been convicted of such an offence.”
That is the real problem, Minister.
