Clause 2 - Primary Care Trusts
NHS Reform and Health Care Professions Bill

I think that the Conservatives' decision not to table amendments to the clause is right, because they have the same approach as me. On reflection, they may have tabled some amendments that were starred, but they are quite right if they have decided that the clause is so flawed that it needs to be opposed in its entirety. The clause is unamendable and unimprovable if one is opposed to the measures for reorganisation that the Government are taking. I welcome the fact that the Conservatives also take that view.
