Proceeding contribution from Baroness Merron (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 31 March 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].


Mental Health Bill [HL]

I note what the noble Baroness has said. We have discussed these issues a number of times in the Chamber and outside. On her second point, the situation is as I have outlined, and I do not feel I should go further today. These are the points I wish to bring before your Lordships’ House. I am happy to take up the points she raised separately. However, on her point about the exact details of the meeting, to be quite honest I cannot give that level of detail. I am very happy to find out more from my officials. The noble Baroness originally asked whether there had been a meeting, and the answer is yes.
