Proceeding contribution from Andy Burnham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 March 2012. It occurred during Emergency debate on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

I am grateful to the hon. Lady for her point. The Liberal Democrats once derided the Freedom of Information Act as too weak. Today they cower behind it, trying to use any scrap of protection they can find within it to prevent the publication of the information that patients and the public deserve to have. That says everything that people need to know about today's Liberal Democrat party.
