Proceeding contribution from Baroness Butler-Sloss (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, I have not yet spoken on this Bill. Could I ask the Minister a very practical question? If the amendment of the noble Baroness, Lady Thornton, is passed, what on earth will happen to this Bill? What I understand might happen is that in due course it would be passed by the Commons but without the amendments of this House. The result of that would mean that the enormous amount of work done by everybody in this House to improve this Bill would be totally lost, and the Bill as it left the Commons would be the same Bill that went through it. Is that what we want?
