Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 January 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

I go back to where I started on principles in the Act. This was a matter about where they should sit. This overarching point was considered very much in the pre-legislative scrutiny. I recall that the committee recognised the challenges of inserting principles into existing legislation, and I say to noble Lords that the approach we have taken is in line with that recommendation.
