The Mental Health (Discrimination) Act 2013 is an act to make further provision about discrimination against people on the grounds of their mental health. The provisions cover Members of Parliament, jurors and company directors. They repeal legislation disqualifying a Member of Parliament or of the devolved bodies on grounds of mental illness, remove the general ban on people receiving treatment for their mental health undertaking jury service, and amend regulations which allow a director of a public or private company to be removed from their position by reason of their mental health. Explanatory notes produced to assist in the understanding of the Act are available separately.
