Scottish Parliament: Mental Health (Public Safety and Appeals) (Scotland) Bill ( 2 Sep 1999)

Kenny MacAskill: Mr Reid's case was first dealt with in the Scottish sheriff courts in around 1994. It then went through appeals before finally reaching the House of Lords in 1998. The MacLean committee was instructed shortly afterwards. Therefore, there were four years during which the case was considered. It took four years for the previous Administration, and now this Administration, to get their act...

Scottish Parliament: Mental Health (Public Safety and Appeals) (Scotland) Bill ( 2 Sep 1999)

Kenny MacAskill: I wish to make it quite clear to Cathy Jamieson that the debate on the law is the next debate-the Presiding Officer made that clear. This debate examines how we got into this mess, and why we need emergency legislation. It is perfectly legitimate for members to run through the Ruddle case in particular, and to analyse what happened and who is at fault. Listening to this debate, everyone is...

Scottish Parliament: Mental Health (Public Safety and Appeals) (Scotland) Bill ( 2 Sep 1999)

Kenny MacAskill: I will not take any interventions. This is a winding-up speech, and Mr Robson will have to remain wound up, if that is how he is feeling. How did we get into this mess? Let us run through some of the facts. As Lord Hardie will wind up for the Executive, I produce what I will call Opposition production No 1-the sheriff's decision from Lanark. The report clarifies that Mr Ruddle was of...

Scottish Parliament: Mental Health (Public Safety and Appeals) (Scotland) Bill ( 2 Sep 1999)

Kenny MacAskill: As I said before, the problem has been on-going in jurisprudence and psychiatry for 40 years. The tragedy is that, through the incompetence and delay of the Executive and the previous Administration, we have to rush this legislation through. As Margaret Ewing said, piecemeal and hastily drafted legislation is a recipe for disaster. We are left with no option but to support the bill but we...

Scottish Parliament: Mental Health (Public Safety and Appeals) (Scotland) Bill: Stage 2: Section 1 — Continued Detention of Mentally Disordered Patients on Grounds of Public Safety ( 8 Sep 1999)

Kenny MacAskill: The tragedy with legislation that is introduced in haste is that things are left out. I was appalled by the letter from the Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland to the Deputy First Minister, dated 6 September. Twenty years of being a lawyer taught me that if you do not know the answer yourself, you know where to find the answer, or you know a man or woman who might know the answer. If...

Scottish Parliament: Mental Health (Public Safety and Appeals) (Scotland) Bill: Stage 2: Section 3 — Meaning of "mental Disorder" in the 1984 Act ( 8 Sep 1999)

Kenny MacAskill: One of the drawbacks of being called towards the end of a debate is that everyone has said what you were going to say. However, the benefit is that you can work out the terms of the debate. I listened to the minister, to Mr McLetchie and to Mr Jackson, and there appears to be much unanimity and consensus on many areas-and on two areas in particular. First, everyone accepts that we are...

Scottish Parliament: Programme for Government ( 9 Sep 1999)

Kenny MacAskill: I can assure John McAllion that I am not going to target the Liberal Democrats with what I will say—I will stick completely to the Labour party, which runs the Executive. Mr McAllion's problem is that he fails to address the fact that this programme proposes nothing of substance and is almost wholly spin. I believe that when an Executive presents its proposals, it has two clear duties:...

Scottish Parliament: Programme for Government ( 9 Sep 1999)

Kenny MacAskill: We are calling now for what we called for before—abandonment of the fuel price escalator. It is causing and compounding problems. The price of a barrel of oil has doubled through tariffs. The Government is—as it did last year and the year before—adding 6 per cent to that. We in Scotland have seen no tangible benefit to our public transport infrastructure. The Government has taken our...
