On behalf of all members of the Committee, Mr. Griffiths, I should like to say how much we look forward to serving under your watchful eye during proceedings on this important Bill. On behalf of my hon. Friends, I promise good behaviour, which I am sure will be reciprocated on both sides of the Committee. We also look forward to serving under the chairmanship of Mr. Atkinson, whom I hold in the
highest regard. He is the Member of Parliament for the constituency in which I lived before I was elected to the House. My family still lives in his constituency, but I cannot promise that they are ever likely to vote for him, although, of course, that might change.
We have drafted the programme motion in an attempt to be fair to both sides of the Committee. Hon. Members will know that parts of the Bill are controversial—particularly part 1—because they propose radical reforms in the national health service. We have devoted the lion's share of the Committee's time to the consideration of part 1, which has only 35 clauses, and I hope that hon. Members will find that an acceptable division.
It is sometimes difficult to be fair to all quarters in politics. One can end up with no credit whatever, and I suspect that that will become increasingly apparent during the course of this short debate. However, the motion is a fair and balanced attempt to ensure that the Committee has an appropriate opportunity to scrutinise the Bill effectively and thoroughly, and I hope, therefore, that the Committee will support the motion.
