Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 8 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

I defer completely to my noble friend, who is right to point out that one thing that we wish to avoid is a charter for a legal action and judicial review. I believe that we have avoided that because of the way in which accountability is now described in the Bill—or will shortly be described, when the amendments are passed. It is accountability primarily through the Secretary of State to Parliament. I thank the noble Lord for his observations.
