EDM number 246A2 in 1989-90, proposed by Keith Vaz on 14/02/1990.

Leave out 'withdrawn' and insert 'welcomed as a genuine, and in most cases practicable, attempt to ensure the civil liberties of people considered to be mentally ill; and calls upon the Leader of the House to provide time for a debate on the implicit suggestion in paragraph 17. 3 of Chapter 17 that psychiatrists can impose section 3 on a patient already remanded under section 35, and treat against her/his will, in contradiction to the current provision of the Mental Health Act, and the intention of Parliament, as well as the need to ensure that the patient is fully involved, from the outset, in the development of any care plan relating to guardianship.'.

This is a ammendment to 246.

This motion has been signed by a total of 1 MPs.
