HC Deb 22 March 1996 vol 274 c344W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when and how he expects to respond to the Scottish Law Commission report on incapable adults with special reference to recommendation 60 about electro-convulsive therapy. [20592]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The Scottish Law Commission report on incapable adults is currently receiving careful consideration and no conclusions have yet been reached on individual recommendations. I cannot yet say when we will be in a position to respond.
