Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

Mary Henry (Independent)

Having been obliged to deal with matters in a practical manner all my life, while the Minister comes from a more esoteric realm, I know that if one tries to keep things consistent one comes out with a pretty good result in the end because everyone knows where they are supposed to be. We have international obligations — that is why I was so furious about the Immigration Bill. If someone looks as though he is having a florid attack of schizophrenia we are not supposed to put him back on the aeroplane to Manchester but should deal with him here.
