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 am grateful to my hon. Friend for raising an extremely important point. As I have said, the Bill provides for a full ban with the power to make exemptions, which will be made by statutory instrument and which will be subject to the affirmative resolution procedure. If after the review, which we propose to complete within three years, the Government and Parliament decide that they do not want to retain some or all of those exemptions, the matter will simply involve the repeal of the relevant regulation and not further primary legislation.
