Mental Health Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Mental Health Bill [HL].
My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for that clarification which is in part reassuring, although it leaves open how the word could be interpreted. My concern, shared by many noble Lords, was that if someone was behaving in a certain manner in public—let us say, aggressively—they could be taken into preventive detention and that would amount to treatment under the Bill’s terms. I hope that the Minister can allay that concern.
