Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 November 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. If the board was not delivering the mandate, it is surely right that the Secretary of State should intervene. He has powers in the Bill to do that. Equally, if it is delivering the mandate, it is also right that it should be allowed to get on without interference from the centre. All we are saying is that the Secretary of State should be clearer about the reasons for his intervention in future. That is in everybody’s interests.
