Proceeding contribution from Mike O'Brien (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill [Lords].


Health Bill [Lords]

I have listened with great care to what the hon. Gentleman has said, but I am still not sure what the answer is to the question that the hon. Member for Stone and I have asked. Is there no circumstance in which de-authorisation should take place and the Minister should be able to intervene? If so, there would be a complete absence of parliamentary accountability even in the most extreme cases. Is that the hon. Gentleman’s position?
