Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morgan of Drefelin (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Greater London Authority Bill.

Greater London Authority Bill

As I understand it—I may need to correct myself—the mayoral powers are set out in the 1999 Act. We want to produce a strategy that would influence the other strategies that the Mayor is involved with. I am aware that others may perceive a level of interference, but we want to build on custom and practice that has arisen since 2000 to make the most of the successes that the health adviser has under her belt and to ensure that the original power to promote health improvement under the 1999 Act is more clearly crystallised around the specific drivers that we have talked about for health inequality.
