Debate
Mental Health Bill [HL]Contribution
In my 32 years, in both Houses, I cannot think how many times I have contributed to debates about the need to release people—to get people with autism and learning disabilities out of the detention in which they find themselves, sometimes for years and years. Each time we have these debates, we say, “We must do something about this”. This is the Bill that can do something about it.
