Personal Care at Home Bill

As I advised the House earlier, Mr. Speaker has given careful consideration to Lords amendment 3 to the Bill. He is satisfied that it would impose a charge on the public revenue which is not authorised by a resolution of this House. Therefore under paragraph 3 of Standing Order No. 78, Lords amendment 3 is deemed to be disagreed to. Lords amendment 3 deemed to be disagreed to (Standing Order No. 78(3)). Lords amendment 4 disagreed to. Ordered, That a Committee be appointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the Lords for disagreeing to their amendments 1, 3 and 4; That Mary Creagh, Phil Hope, Norman Lamb, Mr. Stephen O'Brien and Phil Wilson be members of the Committee; That Phil Hope be the Chair of the Committee; That three be the quorum of the Committee; That the Committee do withdraw immediately.—(Mark Tami.) Committee to withdraw immediately; reasons to be reported and communicated to the Lords.
