Proceeding contribution from Tony Baldry (Conservative) 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 understand that point, but they are very different registers. The register to which the right hon. Lady refers is meant to be publicised. The two are of an entirely different nature, and that is a point which has been explained to the House by my right hon. and hon. Friends on the Treasury Bench on a number of occasions. We are discussing departmental risk registers and the advice that civil servants give to Ministers. All I am saying is that right hon. and hon. colleagues, before they vote on the matter, should at least take care to consider the advice of former heads of the civil service on the effect that publication would have on the relationship between civil servants and Ministers.
