Proceeding contribution from Tom Blenkinsop (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill (Programme) (No. 3).
Health and Social Care Bill (Programme) (No. 3)
Did not the Minister of State, Department of Health, the right hon. Member for Chelmsford (Mr Burns) say in Committee that under the relevant clause,"““the OFT could make a reference to the Competition Commission to review foundation trust mergers to test whether they gave rise to a substantial lessening of competition””––[Official Report, Health and Social Care Public Bill Committee, 17 March 2011; c.885.]?" Does that not undermine the democratic element that the Secretary of State has just tried to explain?
