Proceeding contribution from Patricia Hewitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.


Health Bill

I intend to make a little more progress before I give way. On exemptions, clause 2 gives the National Assembly for Wales and, in the case of England, the Secretary of State the power to make exemptions, some of which I hope will be uncontroversial. They include private dwellings, along with premises that are clearly private space, such as bedrooms in a hotel or a bed and breakfast, and other places, such as care homes and prisons, that are a person’s full-time place of residence for an extended period, although not necessarily as a matter of choice. We are respecting people’s private lives and their freedom of choice.
