Proceeding contribution from Patricia Hewitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 May 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Secretary of State for Health.
Secretary of State for Health
The hon. Gentleman is talking absolute nonsense. Appointments to primary care trusts are made by a completely independent statutory appointments commission. I cannot remember whether the Conservatives supported its establishment, but it is completely independent. Far from people being ashamed of their politics, if people in his party, my party or any other party are active, they declare it, but it makes no difference whatever to the appointments system.
