Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 April 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

My Lords, I am very pleased to hear that Ministers will pick up this issue and hopefully take action to close this gap in human rights protection during the Bill’s passage in the other place. I thank noble Lords, and noble and learned Lords, for their support for this amendment in Committee and today. It has been important that we have that support, as my noble friend Lady Chakrabarti said. I want to thank the Minister. She has done a huge amount of work with us on this amendment and I thank her and my noble friend Lady Blake for agreeing to take action on this important issue of human rights protection. That said, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
