Greater London Authority Bill

I am not having a good day today. People are quietly picking holes in my amendments and how they are drafted. However, it is worth saying that the amendment requires exactly the interpretation that the noble Lord, Lord Harris, suggested. We do not see why it has to be the regional director; we believe that the Mayor should be able to have the choice either to have the regional director or someone else who is not within the Civil Service but who is in the health service, either as a director or deputy director. That should be optional—and ifthat is not clear in my amendment, that is what it should be.
