This matter was the subject of comment and discussion in the House of Commons. For all concerned, the way in which these two pieces of legislation fit together needs to be considered, because it could affect the very good and hard work that has been done by the Minister on the Mental Health Act. Therefore, I hope His Majesty’s Government will come forward with amendments or offer a meeting to noble Lords and the relevant clinicians of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, Professor Alex Ruck Keene, so we can understand how these pieces of legislation will work together and avoid further amendments being laid—which is why I have taken the first opportunity to raise this matter with your Lordships.
