Proceeding contribution from Lord Warner (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 21 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

I was the Minister of State responsible for competition policy in the NHS in 2006, when this legal advice was sought by me and, I think, by Patricia Hewitt as the Secretary of State. As I recall, it was at the point when we were considering the whole issue of regulation reform and Monitor becoming an economic regulator. For my part—I cannot speak for Patricia Hewitt—I would be only too happy for that information to be made available to the noble Lord, Lord Owen. If, in a sense, I am the client, I waive my client’s responsibilities in this area, and I am very happy for that information to be shared.
