Proceeding contribution from Parmjit Dhanda (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill (HL).

Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [Lords]

Government amendments Nos. 79 to 82, 84, 106 to 108, 179 and 185 ensure that the Bill does not extend to devolved matters. The provisions in the Bill for referral of information from the independent barring board and the Secretary of State to some UK-wide health professional bodies will be removed from the Bill, and will be provided for instead in an order under section 60 of the Health Act 1999. The change does not affect the original policy intention that professional bodies will be notified when a registrant is included on a barred list, and will be provided with other information held by the IBB that is relevant to their functions. Amendments Nos. 71, 94, 97, 99, 102 to 105, 136, 150, 178, 180 and 185 to 191 make minor and consequential amendments. I ask hon. Members to accept these technical amendments. Amendment agreed to. Amendment made: No. 72, page 15, line 39, at end insert"‘as if an application under this section were an application under that section’.––[Mr. Dhanda.]"
