Proceeding contribution from Nick Ainger (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill (HL).


Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [Lords]

I am assured that the powers are in the Bill. I cannot direct the right hon. Gentleman to the exact clause, but the commissioner has the power to enter premises—not private premises, but premises where care is provided, and so on—[Interruption.] I am advised that the relevant clause is clause 13. I should have read on in my notes. Clause 13 places no requirement on the commissioner to give notice of his intention to enter to interview, but leaves that to his discretion depending on the circumstances. 6 pm
