Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: as my contribution to this morning's topic, “Legislation and Mental Health,” I had hoped to be able to give you the outlines of the proposals contained in a new Mental Health Bill under way in Northern Ireland. Time has not been on my side, as it just happens the Bill is being presented to-day for its first reading in the Northern Ireland Parliament, and as only after that will it be available for publication, I am not able to make use of it as the basis of my paper this morning.
