Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 March 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Older People's Rights (Health Care).
Older People's Rights (Health Care)
I have listened to the hon. Gentleman. The Select Committee will produce a report on the Bill of Rights debate in which we will discuss social and economic rights, although I do not know what conclusions we will reach. We will also discuss horizontality, or private enforcement against private bodies. That issue concerns much wider arguments and debates than apply here. The important thing today is that we hold the Government to their commitment to turn the clock back, and put the law back to what everyone thought it was before YL, when the House of Lords got things wrong.
