APPENDIX 28
Letter from Mr Peter Fallon QC to the
Clerk of the Committee (MH 69)
I sent the enclosed document to Mr Robin Corbett
MP yesterday. Today I began to think that your Committee is essentially
concerned with the same problem. It is only the slant which differs.
I am enclosing a copy of the letter I sent to Mr Corbett in order
to avoid rewriting much of the same material. In effect my Committee's
comments deal with the Home Office's White Paper and the Department
of Health's Green Paper. The reason for this is that we took the
view that the health and legal sides were too intermingled to
make much sense of commenting separately. I also realised that
if the Home Office Committee had not seen my Committee's agreed
comments your Committee was probably in the same position.
