Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thornton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 15 December 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

I am struggling with the idea that we should withdraw this amendment, because I feel that this is a really rather important matter.

Amendment 296A disagreed. Clause 148 agreed. Clause 149: Directors Amendment 297 Clause 149: Directors Amendment 297 Moved by
