Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 5 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].
Health Bill [HL]
So we are no further forward at all. The purpose of the amendment was to ask the Minister how on earth these provisions will work. They are unworkable in my view. We have not had an answer from the Minister in any way, shape or form. She took the amendment as being literal, which is a trap that we often fall into in Committee. I would not dream of pressing the amendment or even wanting it to be agreed. The point of it was to probe the intent behind the provision. I am very sorry that the Minister was not better briefed to give me a reply.
