Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 30 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 Baroness for giving way, but I am very puzzled. I thought that Liberal Democrat policy was to give local authorities much greater involvement. Why does she not support my amendment, which would give much greater teeth to local authorities by giving them veto power over the commissioning plan? I fail to see why the Liberal Democrats are not supporting local government. In their manifesto they talked about much greater local government involvement. Why will they not support my amendment?
