HC Deb 05 May 1959 vol 605 c305
Mr. Renton

I beg to move, in page 40, line 32, to leave out from "that" to "into" in line 34 and to insert: the mental disorder is of a nature or degree which warrants the detention of the patient in a hospital for medical treatment, or the reception of the patient". This Amendment has the same effect as some other Amendments in page 50, line 39; page 52, line 9; page 55, line 2; and page 56, line 22. These are all drafting Amendments necessary for confirmation of Amendments moved by my right hon. and learned Friend to Clauses 25, 26 and 33. We substitute "warrants the detention", or where appropriate "reception" in the case of guardianship, for the words "renders him suitable". We are doing so at each of the appropriate points in Part V.

Amendment agreed to.
