Biography
Lord Hardie raised learning disability and autism matters through one debate speech during consideration of the Mental Health Bill. His contribution focused on Clause 5's provisions regarding detention in cases of serious harm risk, and he engaged with an amendment proposed by Lady Browning on the topic. The speech demonstrates his engagement with the legislative detail of mental health detention safeguards.
