Proceeding contribution from Lord Monson (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill.
Health Bill
Once again, the Minister has tried to reassure the Committee by saying that no further restrictions can be imposed unless they are agreed by the affirmative resolution procedure. Indeed, I have tabled a simple Question for Written Answer to clarify the point, and it is slightly surprising that it has not yet been answered. If I interpreted him right, a few moments ago the noble Earl, Lord Howe, said that our conventions are such that in practice we would not be able to exercise our power of veto. I must say that that goes against what I have been told by officials of this House. Can the Minister confirm the point either way?
