Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 January 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

I briefly mention Amendments 77 and 84 in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Berridge, which propose the use of the mental health tribunal rather than the county court. My preference would still be the use of the Court of Protection as the correct venue; we certainly cannot have both. However, I do not want to anticipate what the noble Baroness is likely to say or, indeed, what the Minister will want to say in reply.
