Proceeding contribution from Stephen O'Brien (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill [Lords].
Health Bill [Lords]
If the amendment reflects only current rights, it cannot create a lawyer’s charter, as the Minister will try to suggest. By having its provisions safely on the statute book, we would leave ourselves no Beano-reading hostages to fortune, as with the European fundamental charter of human rights. It would put our NHS on an ever-stronger footing. If Labour Members do not follow us through the Aye lobby, that will make a profound point about their opinion of the principles in the constitution, their opinion of the constitution itself, and, by extension, their opinion of and commitment to our NHS.
