Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].


Road Safety Bill [HL]

I can understand where the Minister is coming from, but I hope he will note my concern, which is with the amount. Most GPs know their patients well. They will know whether they have a heart condition or a gammy chest, and a fee of more than £100 for a medical examination seems excessive. Would the Minister or his officials consider talking to the BMA, to see whether it really needs to be quite so expensive? In the meantime, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
