Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on NHS Redress Bill [HL].
NHS Redress Bill [HL]
The principle behind this clause is perfectly sound and acceptable within the context of the Government’s proposals. However, I have a question for the Minister. Is the text of the Bill sufficient to achieve what the clause intends? It has been put to me by legal minds that an amendment to the Limitation Act 1980 is required to ensure that the limitation period does not begin to run until proceedings in relation to any claim under the redress scheme are concluded. Would the Minister care to comment on that? If I have bowled him a fast ball, I will of course accept a letter after these proceedings are over.
