Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL].

Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL]

My Lords, the reasoning behind the inclusion of complementary medicine in the list of opt-outs is that complementary and alternative therapy encompasses a vast array of services. Many people benefit from these services, and we do not wish to impose regulatory burdens that may not be proportionate with the services they offer. However, I have listened with great sympathy to the arguments made by the noble Baroness today and in Committee. This is a matter of discussion among government departments and I very much hope that we will be able to find a solution that is acceptable to her on Report.
