Proceeding contribution from Chris Huhne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Knife Crime.
Knife Crime
That is an absolutely splendid smokescreen from the former Secretary of State for Health, not least because he knows very well that the only elected person in charge of the national health service is the Secretary of State for Health. I am convinced that if the NHS had accountability to elected people on the lines proposed by the Liberal Democrats the change would have been far more dramatic. People want knife crime to be tackled, and they do not want a load of excuses from one part of Government about not delivering on an objective set by another part of Government.
