Table
Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill
8:55 am
Mr Simon Burns (West Chelmsford, Conservative)
I am grateful to you, Mr. Griffiths. I fully appreciate and accept what you say. However, may I, as a final word on the matter, through you, give the hon. Gentleman some advice? He should table his amendments to tease out his concerns about the Bill as soon as possible, so that they can be selected in time to be debated. That will ensure that he has his fair share of time under the programme motion, so that he can develop his arguments on why he is opposed to the Bill and yet supported it on Second Reading. I am sure that the hon. Gentleman will heed my advice. Having said that, we have no objections in principle to the programme motion.
