Proceeding contribution from Baroness Neuberger (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on NHS Redress Bill [HL].

NHS Redress Bill [HL]

I shall speak to Amendment No. 23, having heard what the noble Earl, Lord Howe, has said. We feel strongly that the only circumstance in which proceedings cannot be commenced should be when an offer under the scheme—that is, if we get that far—has been made and previously rejected. Otherwise, we feel that there should be no other circumstances in which proceedings cannot be commenced. Like the noble Earl, we, too, are probing to find out precisely what the Government have in mind about what is allowed and what is not in these circumstances.
