Dr Ben Spencer

Conservative — Runnymede and Weybridge

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 May 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [Lords]

Contribution

I appreciate the hon. Member giving way. There is a logical inconsistency, which is that people with autism and learning disability are looked after under mental health services for autism and learning disability. If the argument is, “Well, those conditions should not be within the scope of Mental Health Act”, one could make an argument that they should not be within scope of mental health services full stop.
