Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

I thank the Minister for her reply. It is reassuring to hear that the interpretation to be placed on Clause 49 is consonant with the intention behind the amendment; namely, that that clause confers a duty on the commission to keep the Secretary of State informed and a power to advise the Secretary of State on matters that it wishes to bring to his notice. I hope that that will fulfil the same objectives as I have outlined. I shall study the Minister’s reply and, for now, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clauses 46 and 47 agreed to. Clause 48 [Transfer and amendment of functions under Mental Health Act 1983]: [Amendment No. 93 not moved.]
