Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

I want to reinforce my hon. Friend's point, with which I totally agree. It is almost 10 years to the day since the then Home Secretary, my right hon. Friend the Member for Blackburn (Mr. Straw), said that ““public authorities”” should extend to private providers fulfilling public functions. Some 10 years on from that commitment, it is time for us to act accordingly.
