Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 January 2025
Debate
Mental Health Bill [HL]Contribution
The new sections in respect of registers are specifically aimed at people with a learning disability and autistic people because of the detrimental outcomes that people in this cohort may suffer when detained. We spoke about that earlier this evening and at Second Reading. The new sections do not apply to people without those conditions because they are not considered to face equivalent detrimental outcomes.
