Proceeding contribution from Lord Beecham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 December 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

Rubbish is the responsibility of district councils, as the noble Baroness, Lady Jolly, would point out—at least its collection is. We clearly do not agree about this. The Bill does not go sufficiently far to underpin democratic accountability. It goes too far to entrench professional and bureaucratic interests, whose voice should certainly be heard but who should not be able to vote on these decisions, just as they are not in central or local government.
