Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill [Lords].


Health Bill [Lords]

I was a proud member of the Health Committee, but when we examined the evidence for the Government's proposals, we rejected the Government's attempts to cherry pick who would be protected by the legislation. We said, based on the evidence, that if we were to protect one, we needed to protect all. Such evidence is lacking for the provisions in the current Bill.
