Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Cope of Berkeley (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 25 January 2010.
Health: Reciprocal Agreements
- Question
- My Lords, does the Minister recognise that while it may be fair enough for one of Her Majesty's Governments—the one over there—to renegotiate these agreements with others of Her Majesty's elected Governments in these dependencies, it is not fair for them simply to bully them in the way that they are doing? Will they now negotiate these things properly with the dependencies?
- Answer
-
My Lords, there was no bullying. These agreements were not perpetual, but had proper termination clauses. The proper termination period was given. No new information came forward from other parties. We think that the way we have behaved is entirely reasonable.
