Proceeding contribution from Baroness Tonge (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

Can the Minister explain to me, a relative novice, how it is possible to advertise a job that has not yet been approved by Parliament for a body that has not yet been approved by Parliament? It could be overturned, or at least delayed for a year, by the House of Lords if we do not satisfy ourselves that we want this legislation. I ask in all innocence as I do not understand why the Government have jumped the gun.
