HC Deb 23 June 1960 vol 625 c749
The Lord Advocate

I beg to move, in page 41, line 46, to leave out "of his committing" and to insert: that as a result of his mental disorder he would commit". This meets a point which was raised in Committee by the hon. Member for Glasgow, Craigton (Mr. Millan). I understand that it is also a matter which has been raised by the Royal Medico Psychological Association. It is to ensure that where action is taken the court has regard to the risk of further offences only if that risk arises out of a person's mental condition.

Amendment agreed to.
